Claudio never achieved anything; our parents always gave him opportunities. While I finished school and went to work, he stayed behind to work as a salesman with my father. Then my father opened a supermarket for him, again to give him opportunities. But it closed during the Covid era. My parents paid him 800 euros a month, 400 for small jobs he did.

Davide Gulisano, brother of Claudio , accused of murdering his parents on Via Ghibli, speaks before the judges of the Cagliari Assize Court. "In my grief, I hoped it would be a romantic death," he said, "perhaps with my mother having a heart attack and my father having given up. But that wasn't the case."

Today Davide recalled the relationship between his brother and his parents, the debts of the 44-year-old accused of killing Luigi Gulisano and Marisa Dessì in via Ghibli, Cagliari.

At the previous hearing , the defendant, who has been in prison for over a year, had made spontaneous statements denying killing his parents . His brother, who was heard this morning, joined the civil action along with the brothers and sisters of the two victims, all represented by the lawyer Gianluca Aste.

In court, he outlined the family relationship, answered questions about the supermarket his father had given to Claudio and the subsequent bankruptcy. Finally, he spoke about the discovery of the bodies.

At the next hearing, scheduled for April 15, additional witnesses will be heard. Claudio Gulisano is charged with aggravated double homicide and computer fraud for withdrawing approximately €20,000 from his parents' accounts, using their online banking system. The prosecution alleges that he used the funds to repay his accumulated supermarket debts.
