"We just want the truth." These were the words of Maria Caterina Fadda, one of the daughters of Gesuino - killed in 1991 together with his son Giuseppe and the pastor Ignazio Pusceddu during the so-called Sinnai massacre -, at the Court of Appeal of Rome. After the request for review of the conviction of Beniamino Zuncheddu , the thought began to emerge that the life prisoner is truly innocent.

The president postponed the work to 12 December as already planned to give rise to the decisive confrontation between the man who carried out the investigations (the policeman Mario Uda) and the survivor of the ambush (Luigi Pinna, son-in-law of Gesuino Fadda): a face a face considered fundamental to clarify what really happened three decades ago, when the survivor indicated Zuncheddu as responsible.

Did he do it, as he revealed on November 14, only because the investigator indicated it to him by showing him in a photo, and thus convincing him of his guilt (a step that makes that indication unreliable), without actually recognizing him at the time of the armed assault? Uda denied it on the same occasion.

The moment of truth will come in 11 days.
