A Chinese beauty died after being stabbed 7 times in Italy, but the murderer claimed to have fallen in love with her. Why is this?

A major murder occurred in the northern Italian city of Reggio Emilia. A 24-year-old beautiful Chinese girl was brutally murdered by a Moroccan man. The girl named Zhou Hui (transliteration) was working in a small restaurant bar, and the crazy murderer took advantage of this moment to break in with a knife. Enter that restaurant.

According to earlier reports by Italian local media, he rushed in from the store entrance holding a 30-centimeter-long prop, went straight behind the bar, and then stabbed Zhou Hui crazily with a dagger. In just a few seconds of attack, the murderer stabbed Zhou Hui at least 7 times and quickly escaped.

At that time, there were only two other customers in the store. No one reacted, and there was no time to stop the murderer's crazy behavior. One of the customers quickly called the police after seeing Zhou Hui injured and called the local medical rescue hotline for help.

However, when the ambulance arrived at the restaurant, poor Zhou Hui had already died from excessive blood loss.

In the hours after the tragedy, police issued arrest warrants across Italy, sent messages to the border and released photos of the suspects amid fears the killer had fled. The police confirmed that the murderer was a Moroccan named Hicham B.

This incident even alarmed the Chinese Consulate General in Milan. Officials made an urgent appointment with the local police to urge the police to solve the case as soon as possible and severely punish the murderer. So the local police, together with the police dog unit, firefighters, and military police, conducted a comprehensive search in the entire area. Although traces of the wanted criminal were found many times, he luckily escaped.

Zhou Hui’s brother expressed dissatisfaction with this. He believed that the security situation in Italy was too poor and the police did not do enough. This was not a good thing for all immigrants, including the Chinese community. He hoped that Italy would Police can improve work efficiency and safety.

The murderer's whereabouts are still unknown, but Zhou Hui has passed away. In order to commemorate her beauty and kindness, many local Chinese and overseas Chinese spontaneously held a memorial service on the night of August 11th at the restaurant where she was killed.

That night, nearly a thousand people attended the memorial service, including the Deputy Mayor of Regio Emilia, overseas Chinese, Italian people and overseas Chinese traveling in Italy. People are deeply saddened by the death of this Chinese girl, and everyone hopes that the crazy murderer can be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible.

Perhaps the prayers of thousands of people really worked. After many days of running away, the murderer finally surrendered to the police in the early morning of this Monday.

According to reports from "European Times" and the Italian Reggionline website, around 2:30 a.m. on the 19th, the Moroccan murderer Hicham B. who brutally killed a Chinese girl surrendered. However, he shamelessly claimed that he loved Zhou Hui very much and had fallen in love with her two years ago. But in interviews with Italian media, the girl's family denied this and suspected it might have been a ploy by the killer in the hope of receiving a lighter sentence.

Currently, the local police have begun interrogating the murderer, and the murderer’s motive has yet to be confirmed. But what is certain is that Hisham, 34, has been illegally staying in Italy since 2015 and currently does not have permanent residency. Previously, he had been ordered deported by Italian police twice.

According to the police investigation, the murderer usually only came to Zhou Hui's workplace to drink coffee and eat bread, and then left. He had not done any radical behavior before.

Although according to Italian authorities, this incident was not a robbery, but a vicious murder of a woman. But so far, they have not investigated the real reason behind the murder.

Two days ago, Zhou Hui’s funeral was held in Reggio Emilia, Italy. She used her tragedy to remind many Chinese girls overseas, and even Chinese men. Especially when you go out, you should be more careful, take more precautions, and pay attention to your personal safety. At the same time, local Chinese also began to urge the police to increase management of the city to avoid such a tragedy from happening again.
