Manuela Murgia murder: RIS investigation into the Tuvixeddu canyon
Specialists at the site where the sixteen-year-old's body was found for investigations and checksThe RIS arrived at 12.50, from via Falzerago, at the entrance to the Tuvixeddu canyon for the inspection ordered by the Cagliari Prosecutor's Office in the investigation into the murder of Manuela Murgia .
The Carabinieri of the Scientific Investigations Unit must carry out a series of investigations and tests (with sampling) on the soil and vegetation present in the canyon to compare with some findings that are the subject of the expert report requested by the judge, to be delivered by November 30th.
This is a further step in the murder investigation opened a few months ago by prosecutor Guido Pani, after a long battle waged by the girl's family, who never believed the suicide theory. The only suspect is her ex-boyfriend Enrico Astero, now 54 .
The investigation was reopened after the opinion of coroner Roberto Demontis, who ruled it a homicide: the girl, after engaging in forceful sexual intercourse, was allegedly run over and killed. Her body was subsequently transported—and dragged—into the Tuvixeddu canyon.
