Francesca Deidda did not defend herself . There wasn't a quarrel, there wasn't a scuffle, his murder was a full-blown execution . The 42-year-old was killed while she was sleeping or watching TV, perhaps dozing, on the sofa at home , with her head resting on the armrest. Curled up, just as she was found inside the bag in Rio Picocca.

Her husband Igor Sollai , a 43-year-old lorry driver, is in prison for the murder. He would have killed her with a devastating blow to the head, between the forehead and the right side of the skull . This has been confirmed so far by the autopsy. The object used? Most likely a dumbbell for gymnastic exercises, which is missing from the house in San Sperate where the Ris carabinieri returned yesterday afternoon and is compatible with the fatal wound . The military searched for the tool for a long time yesterday, but they didn't find it.

The autopsy yesterday was carried out by the medical examiner Roberto Demontis, supported by the pathologist Giulia Caccia indicated by the Prosecutor's Office, and by Chantal Milani, an expert chosen by Gianfranco Piscitelli, the lawyer who protects Andrea Deidda, Francesca's brother. On August 1st, the entomologist Stefano Vanin will arrive in Cagliari, who will have the task of establishing the date of death. Presumably on the same day of his disappearance, May 10th.

According to those investigating, Sollai, after killing his wife, took her lifeless body to Sarrabus on board the small car which was then sold, taking care to advise the unsuspecting buyer to sanitize it well. He also put the sofa up for sale, but found no buyers. Today new inspection of the house and the place where the course was found.

At the moment nothing has filtered out regarding the possible involvement of accomplices in hiding the body .
