The Court of Appeal-juvenile section of the Court of Sassari has rejected the appeal presented by the parents of the multiple murderer from Ploaghe, Fulvio Baule , to have their right to visit their two-year-old grandchildren recognised, in their capacity as paternal grandparents.

The panel of judges chaired by Maria Teresa Spanu - alongside Cristina Fois and Cinzia Caleffi - confirmed the first instance sentence deeming «essential to preserve the current family balance of the two children also avoiding, as specifically noted by the child neuropsychiatrist, a disturbance in the new family environment created after the serious events that occurred on 26 February 2022".

That day Baule, now locked up in Bancali prison on charges of double murder, killed his in-laws with an ax and brutally attacked his ex-wife Ilaria Saladdino in front of their twins. For the civil lawyers Gabriele Satta and Gian Mario Solinas, based on the report filed by the Sassari expert, «the association with the grandparents, in such a dramatic moment for the family which has suffered heavy traumas, would risk creating emotional imbalance in the current family context in which the children live, with the risk of causing actual harm to twins aged just two and a half".

At first instance the judges of the Juvenile Court had rejected the appeal presented by the parents of the murderer of Ploaghe as "the immediate re-establishment of a relationship between the Baule family and the Saladdino family is difficult and traumatic".
