Murder in the countryside of Jerzu, near Gairo.

The victim is a 40-year-old farmer, Riccardo Muceli, from Gairo, killed by at least two gunshots.

The Carabinieri of the Company of Jerzu are investigating what happened and are carrying out investigations.

The details of the crime are still few and fragmentary.

From what we learn it would have been an ambush: the victim was in his car, returning from the fold, when he was attacked by one or more armed men.

After the alarm, a 118 team arrived on the spot, who had been reported to have a road accident.

Instead, medical staff found the man seriously injured by bullets and tried to revive him, but there was nothing they could do.

At the scene of the ambush also the deputy prosecutor of Lanusei, Gualtiero Battisti, called to coordinate the investigations.

No hypothesis is excluded, not even possible links with a feud dating back to a few years ago in Gairo.

In December 2015 Simone Piras, a 33-year-old farmer, was shot dead, while on 27 July of the same year, again by shot-guns, Massimiliano Langiu, also a farmer, aged 27, was shot dead.

In 2014, two other farmers were ambushed: Aldo Caboi, 63, who died after a week of agony, and Fabrizio Ligas, who was injured.
