Beniamino Zuncheddu, witnesses parade at the review process

Four witnesses in the new hearing of the trial to review the life sentence of Beniamino Zuncheddu , the shepherd from Burcei accused of the Sinnai massacre (three deaths on the slopes of Mount Serpeddì in January 1991).

Among others, Giuseppe Boi, from Dolianova, who was convicted in the past for the kidnapping of the entrepreneur Gianni Murgia (October 1990) in Dolianova, spoke before the Rome appeal court, before which the proceedings are taking place.

A kidnapping that the general prosecutor's office (before Cagliari, now of the capital) and the lawyer Mauro Trogu (defender of Zuncheddu) believe to be closely linked to the massacre , because the hypothesis is that some of the victims (Gesuino Fadda, owner of Cuile is Coccus scene of the massacre, his son Giuseppe and the shepherd Ignazio Pusceddu) could have played a role in the kidnapping.

Boi recalled his relationships with the Faddas, with whom he worked for ten years until 1983, and denied ever knowing anything about the triple murder. Least of all who it might have been, even if "for us it was impossible it had been Benjamin".

Since the morning after the massacre he had taken care of the Fadda's livestock at the request of Gesuino's widow and the patriarch's daughters due to the close relationship that bound him to the family. On the former policeman Mario Uda, protagonist of the investigations into those events, «a novel could be written. He introduced himself as Busachi di Maria Fadda's cousin and asked questions about livestock. I learned he was a policeman months later. In April".

If he had known before, he would have acted differently: "It was too dangerous to be seen in that environment with a representative of the police."

On the hypothesized connection with the kidnapping of Gianni Murgia he spoke of "fantasies". He also denied having ever been a confidant of the Cagliarinese investigating judge Luigi Lombardini. But after many I don't remember the deposition, the President of the Court forcefully reprimanded the witness, postponing any evaluations until the end of the proceedings. Which will continue on January 9th to hear three more witnesses and give rise to the confrontation between Mario Uda and pastor Paolo Melis.
