The Sassari Review Court has ordered the immediate revocation of the prison sentence for Mario Masala, the 38-year-old man accused of deliberately running over and killing his neighbor, the pensioner Tonino Pirastru .
The facts date back to July 3rd and occurred in Liscia di Vacca (Porto Cervo) . Masala was arrested a few days ago with a serious charge, that of having settled accounts with Pirastru by killing him, the two were at loggerheads because the pensioner had closed a shared passage with a gate .
Today the Review Court, at the request of lawyers Giancarlo Frongia and Nicola Satta, replaced the prison measure with house arrest . According to the defense, there were no grounds for the more severe measure. During the discussion, reference was made to the recent case in Viareggio, that of a woman who ended up under house arrest after having hit a man with her car and having passed over the victim's body several times, killing her.
