"This is the fourth Christmas I am about to spend without an answer. My brother's murder still has no culprit, "individuals" who are still among us and I wonder with what courage they can live peacefully, like those citizens who know but do not speak, an endless anguish that gives me no peace. Know, however, that I will never give up."

Yet another cry of pain from Eleonora Sedda, 46-year-old sister of Mario, the 39-year-old man found lifeless on the evening of April 1, 2021 in Porto Torres, probably killed a few days earlier in a different place from where he was found, with a ceramic blade stuck in his cheekbone, and then transported and abandoned in the bushes on a plot of land at the entrance to the city. Three and a half years have passed since then, five people have ended up in the register of suspects, but still no breakthrough.

"After the latest developments in the investigations, the times seem to be dragging on too much and the situation is one of absolute uncertainty, at least for me who awaits justice and truth. Nothing is leaking out and this creates a suffering that finds no relief", Eleonora repeats.

The register of suspects opened by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Sassari initially included a 62-year-old from Porto Torres and then a 33-year-old also from Porto Torres. Since January 2024, three other people have been officially investigated , all from Porto Torres, "because they caused the death of Mario Sedda by beating him and injuring him with a cutting weapon". They are a 35-year-old, a 32-year-old and a 20-year-old who was a minor at the time of the events, but who had already had dealings with justice for an armed robbery.

"Too much silence, even from the citizens who know, who knew him and knew that my brother was a good person and that he wouldn't hurt anyone," Eleonora continues. "This case cannot end like the murder of Alina Cossu, unsolved and without a culprit, a murderer who killed Mario, with a knife stuck in his skull, before being abandoned worse than a dog in a hidden area," she continues. "Do we realize that those responsible are dangerous people and that it is in the community's interest to find the murderer?"

The investigations were coordinated by deputy prosecutors Angelo Beccu and Laura Andrea Bassani. Last January, the investigative offices of the Provincial Operations Department of the Carabinieri of Sassari had entrusted the task to the expert to submit five smartphones and a USB stick, seized from the 20-year-old's home. The checks had also been communicated to the lawyer of Sedda's family, Pietro Diaz.
