A 61-year-old Italian man, Pierangelo Pellizzar, has allegedly shot dead his 31-year-old Nigerian wife, Amenze Rita, in Italy.
It was disclosed that Rita filed for divorce which angered her husband to carry out the heinous act of killing her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rita was shot dead in front of her colleagues in the parking lot of Mf Mushroom, a company where she worked on Friday morning, in Noventa Vicentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was gathered that the suspect, Pellizzar waylaid his estranged wife at about 7:30am and shot her four times, until she passed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After killing Rita, he reportedly escaped from the crime scene riding a grey Cherokee Jeep which was later found abandoned at his brother\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security personnel are currently searching for the suspect, who was reportedly said to be armed and dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian journalists are reporting that Rita was murdered because she filed for a divorce after she returned from Nigeria a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was further gathered that late Rita arrived in Italy in 2017 through Libya and got married to the Italian man in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
