Frattamaggiore, the brother of the man set on fire: "It was Pasquale"

Frattamaggiore. Before losing consciousness, amid excruciating pain and with her body almost entirely engulfed in flames, she allegedly pronounced the name of her attacker and also the reason for the insane act. “Pasquale, it was Pasquale, for the scooter.”

To tell it is Biagio, brother of Nicola Liguori, who is still fighting for his life in the burns unit of the Bari Polyclinic where he was taken two nights ago after an initial hospitalization at the Cardarelli hospital in Napoli transported by ambulance from the San Giovanni di Dio hospital in Frattamaggiore.

According to the victim's brother, the crime was triggered by the theft of a scooter in the neighborhood where Nicola lives and a certain Pasquale could be the one who, during the night between Thursday and Friday, doused Nicola's body with flammable liquid and then set it on fire.

The seriously burned man was accused of stealing the scooter, a circumstance denied by Biagio who went to the police station to file a complaint and tell him what his brother had confided in him.

It all started with a previous argument with a local man. His story also includes the dramatic moments following the incident with Nicola Liguori who tried to take his clothes off and then dragged himself to his mother's house. Then he was taken to the hospital. He is now in Bari "at the end of his life", according to him “let's just hope for a miracle.”
