Twelve years and eight months. This is the sentence imposed by the judge of the Court, Manuela Anziani, on the 77-year-old Luigi Piras, from Monserrato, accused of the murder of the landlord Antonio Pisu, a 79-year-old building contractor, killed at the height of an argument in Monserrato on 28 December 2021 Prosecutor Gaetano Porcu had asked for a sentence of 13 years and 4 months.
Reason for the dispute was the attic in which the defendant lived, on which an enforceable eviction was concerned. The umpteenth quarrel had then resulted in blood when Pisu had gone up to Piras's to ask him, for the umpteenth time, when he was going to pack. An altercation ensued at the height of which the defendant grabbed a 7.65 caliber pistol and fired. The victim, shot in the chest, had no escape.
Prosecutor Porcu at the end of the investigation by the Flying Squad had not contested aggravating circumstances to the charge of voluntary homicide, hence the possibility for defense attorney Michele Zuddas to ask for an abbreviated trial for Piras.
Today the sentence, which sentenced the defendant to 12 years and 8 months. The civil parties were assisted by the lawyers Pamela Marianna Piras, Iacopo Porcu, Marco Perra and Graziella Atzeni.
