Twice Tonino Corrias had escaped as many ambushes but yesterday morning the killer did not fail and killed him in front of his house, in the center of Oliena. A barrage of shots straight at the target, the 59-year-old farmer who had just come out to join his fold. All this almost under the eyes of his wife and two children, who seem to have seen something: a shadow, perhaps a hooded person.

“Pereddu”, as he was known, got into the car - a blue Ford Fiesta - and when he started the gunshots started. The killer was waiting for him in via Massaua, behind the town hall, almost certainly behind the victim. Several shots, at least seven or eight according to the story of some fellow villagers. Corrias had no escape. He could not escape, scream, save himself. After the shooting, the screams of his wife who rushed to the street asking for help. A carabiniere, who lives not far away, arrived to his rescue.

Her husband in 2001 and 2015 had been the victim of two similar episodes, someone wanted to kill him for reasons that have remained shrouded in mystery. This time the ending was dramatic and throws not only the family but the whole community in terrible pain especially for those two innocent children.
