Sardo killed in Turin: "Freddato immediately after escorting his friend home"
The autopsy reveals a first fundamental element for the investigation into the death of the 52-year-old originally from Assemini and Cagliari
First answers on the murder of Massimo Melis , the 52-year-old of Sardinian origin (mother of Assemini and father of Cagliari) shot to the head in Turin, near via Gottardo.
The man, driver of the Green Cross, was allegedly murdered immediately after "escorting" home, accompanying her to the landing with shopping bags, a friend who had expressed fears for a stalker.
It is not possible to establish the exact minute of the crime that took place on Sunday 31 October, but the killer would have fired the .38 caliber pistol around 21 and therefore not two or three hours after the separation between Melis and her friend, as had been hypothesized in a first moment.
HUNTING THE KILLER - There is no news on the murderer: the investigators of the mobile police station are following a lead: it leads to a 62-year-old man already known to the police. It could be that "acquaintance" who tormented the victim's friend, a bartender in the family club, and who has become unavailable.
That Halloween night the murderer coldly and decisively used a revolver, the kind that in investigative circles are defined as "easy to use and to obtain".
He fired only once, straight in the head, while Massimo was sitting in the driver's seat, with the ignition key inserted in the dashboard as if he were about to leave for home, but without yet having fastened his seat belt. Then he closed the door and disappeared.
Only in the afternoon of November 1 was the alarm sounded, when the 52-year-old's mother told Melis's friend that Massimo had disappeared and was not answering the phone.
At that point she got out of the house and found him lifeless in the car.
OTHER TRACKS - Apparently the victim had no enemies, described by all as a "good and decent man". A person "well-mannered and polite, attentive and precise at work and reserved in private life", as his colleagues at the Green Cross define him, still incredulous in the face of the tragedy.
However, Melis had come into contact with many difficult situations for work. That is why the investigators, in addition to the images of the surveillance cameras, are examining the telephone records, from which several answers are expected.
