ItalyA 24-year-old man from El Salvador, who had been living in Vigevano, Italy, was found dead in his apartment after being the victim of a homophobic attack two weeks earlier. The incident occurred on August 21 when he was approached by two men near the Giacchetta Bridge in Piazza Ducale. The attackers verbally harassed him over his sexual orientation before physically assaulting him, pushing him into the waters of the Naviglio Sforzesco canal. He managed to climb back out and was taken to the emergency room but left before completing the medical report. He did not file a formal complaint, stating he wanted to forget the experience and feared further repercussions. The perpetrators, identified as two South American men known to law enforcement, were later apprehended by military police. One of them has prior criminal records. They resisted arrest and threatened officers with a glass bottle before being detained. Authorities are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the young man’s death, with no theories currently ruled out.
