British guy in court for allegedly of killing someone in Italy

A man has gone to court to decide if he will be sent back to Italy after being accused of killing a woman.

Michele Faiers, who was 66 years old, was discovered dead in her house close to the town of Casoli in Italy on Wednesday.

Michael Whitbread was taken into custody in Shepshed, a town in Leicestershire, later on the same day.

The 74-year-old person went to a meeting on Saturday that was organized to decide if they should be sent to another country.

Mr Whitbread was asked if he agreed to be sent back to Italy, where he currently resides, in the Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

He said he didn’t do it, and he was told to come to court on Thursday.

The court was informed that the retired driving instructor and shop owner is currently in England visiting family and has a ticket to go back to Italy.
The judge, John Zani, said that this is just a claim and Mr. Whitbread has not been found guilty of anything yet.

To Mr Whitbread, he said: “The Italian government wants you to come back and go to court there because they accuse you of something very serious.

If you are found guilty, you will most likely receive a long prison sentence.

“I must acknowledge that you came here not long after the accusation of murder was made a few days ago. ”

The judge said that the court will have a complete hearing at the same place on 26 February next year.
