The bloody robbery last night in Torpignattara ended in tragedy with the murder of Zhouzeng and his daughter of a few months of age, leaves us frozen in horror.

The Community of Sant'Egidio is close to the family of the victims and expresses its condolences and its solidarity to the Chinese community in this terrible moment. We agree with the choice of city mourning for this mercyless murder.

We hope that the whole town gathers around the mother, the family of the victims and the Chinese community to show effective solidarity.

This heinous criminal act is added to an increasing series of murders and violences that are transforming the face of our city. Rome hardens and becomes increasingly violent. Now it is time to make - as stated by the card. Vicar A. Vallini - a deep reflection on what is changing in the city, the spiritual emptiness and loss of respect for human life.

All the Romans must rally together and work on the reconstruction of a social tissue more human and more sympathetic.
