Acquitted for not having committed the crime. This is the sentence pronounced this morning in court by the preliminary hearing judge Sergio De Luca, in an abbreviated trial, against Antonio Luigi Fiori, 49, accused of the murder of 78-year-old Nicola Pasquarelli, beaten to death and then charred in the pine forest of Piandanna in front of the Ecological Center in August 2023.

During the discussion, the prosecutor Lara Senatore had asked for 20 years for the accused. The evidentiary framework collected against the accused is partly based on the testimony of Aurora Addis who had the pensioner's body found and indicated Fiori as the perpetrator of the murder.

An act that arose in a context of extreme degradation due to drug addiction and caused, this is the hypothesis, by the jealousy of the 49-year-old.

Pasquarelli's wife and children have joined the civil action and are assisted by lawyers Michele Galia, Vittorio Delogu and Gianni Emilio Censori. The defendant's legal defense is Marco Palmieri.
