Massimiliano Farci apologized in court, accused before the Court of Assizes of Sassari on charges of killing Speranza Ponti . His words of apology are addressed to "Hope's family for the mess I made". And “ to my family for all the situation I have created. To you for all this, to the Prosecutor's Office for all the work it had to do ''.
The woman was found dead in a bush , in a suburb of Alghero, in January 2020 but the crime dates back to the previous December.
Farci, in his spontaneous declarations, however, continued to proclaim himself innocent : “I'm sorry I didn't ask for help when I found Speranza dead. I did it out of heart, to fulfill a wish of Hope. I loved her in a beautiful, clean way . I will carry his memory in my head for the rest of my days. My fear was not to be believed then, as well as not to be believed now. I've never touched anyone in my life, much less Hope. ''
In her version, she allegedly discovered the body in the house claiming she had committed suicide . Then, he would take the body to a place dear to the woman.
At the hearing today the accusation represented by the prosecutors Angelo Beccu and Beatrice Giovannetti asked for a life sentence with 18 months of daytime solitary confinement.
