The writing "we know what you did". And two hands stained with blood. The relatives of Manuela Murgia, the sixteen-year-old found dead in the Tuvixeddu canyon on February 5, 1995, are relaunching now that after thirty years the Cagliari Prosecutor's Office has reopened the investigation with a hypothesis of crime: murder.
Sisters and brother of that girl forced to remain such forever have reopened a case that had been filed as suicide. And after the case returned to media attention and a torchlight procession that culminated next to the "scene of the crime", they continue their battle.
"We know," they write, "the torchlight procession illuminated much more than a road: it lit up faces, revealed silences, brought out voices you thought buried. The testimonies speak. And now, so do we. Everything leads to Via Is Maglias."
"Those who know and remain silent are part of the mud," the family continues, "But the mud dries, cracks. And leaves everything exposed. Don't say we didn't warn you."
Then the message to the person in charge, or those in charge: "You have limited time. Hiding is useless. You better go and say what you did. Before someone else does it."
