The preliminary hearing opened before the Cagliari preliminary investigations judge, Giorgio Altieri, concluding the technical-scientific investigations carried out by the RIS on the biological traces found on the clothes of Manuela Murgia , the young girl found dead in 1995 at the foot of the Tuvixeddu canyon.

The investigation has been reopened for the second time after thirty years with the hypothesis of voluntary homicide against the sixteen-year-old's ex-boyfriend, Enrico Astero , who has always professed to have no involvement in the affair.

The expert report by the Carabinieri scientific investigations unit confirmed that there were no traces of her genetic material in the young woman's clothes , which were recovered from the Department of Forensic Medicine where they had been kept on the day of the autopsy.

Also present at the hearing were the expert consultants appointed by Astero's defense attorney, Marco Fausto Piras, and the Murgia family. Former Parma RIS general Luciano Garofano and geneticist Emiliano Giardina will discuss the expert report.
