In the Assize Court in Cagliari, life imprisonment was requested for the alleged murderer of Venerato Sardu, Fabrizio Congiu .
The request by the prosecutor Andrea Massidda came at the end of a very quick closing speech made possible by the fact that the defense attorney Stefano Pisano made available to the Court (presided by judge Lucia Perra, with Roberto Cau at her side) the entire folder of evidence collected during the investigation following the crime.
The civil party lawyer Pierluigi Concas, appointed by the victim's family, and the defense lawyer himself then discussed the case. He asked for his client to be acquitted of the crime of robbery, in order to drop the aggravating circumstance that prevented Congiu from accessing the abbreviated trial .
The next hearing, in which the sentence will be issued, is scheduled for November 20 .
The crime
The murder occurred in February 2023 when Sardu, 75, was found lifeless in his home in via Ogliastra, Is Mirrionis district .
It was immediately understood that it was a murder and a few days later the arrest of Congiu, 53 years old, arrived. The victim was the owner of the entire building, where Congiu lived in rent on the third floor but had been evicted because he had not paid for months.
According to the prosecution, the 53-year-old killed Venerato Sardu in an attempted robbery . He had entered the ground floor apartment to steal his money, but the situation degenerated and he hit him with a hammer and a knife.
