Arrow kills noisy Peruvian
An Italian man kills a man celebrating the birth of his child.
ROME, Italy (AFP) — An Italian man has been charged with racially-aggravated murder after fatally shooting a Peruvian with a home-made arrow for making too much noise in the street, authorities and media reports said Thursday.
Javier Alfredo Romero Miranda was "killed by an arrow shot by a madman" on Tuesday, Genoa mayor Giovanni Toti said on Twitter.
The father of two had been celebrating the birth of his second child on Halloween with fellow South Americans, according to ANSA news agency.
Evaristo Scalco, 63, fired at the 41-year old from his window after arguing with the group about their rowdy behavior, media reported.
Witnesses said he was heard shouting racial abuse before raising his bow.
The arrow, which police said was the type usually used to hunt boars, reportedly hit Romero Miranda in the liver.
