"You acquit Francesco Baingio Douglas Fadda for not having committed the crime". This is the request made today before the Assize Court of Sassari presided over by Judge Massimo Zaniboni, alongside Gian Paolo Piana, by the lawyer Lorenzo Galisai, who defends the 46-year-old Sassari accused of the femicide of Zdenka Krejcikova, his companion, 41-year-old Czech origin, who died as a result of a knife wound reported in a bar in Sorso on February 15, 2020.

A week ago the prosecutor Paolo Piras had asked for a life sentence for Fadda, holding him responsible for voluntary murder aggravated by premeditation, committed against a person to whom the author was linked by a relationship and committed with cruelty, as well as resistance, torture , illegal carrying of a knife and kidnapping.

THE ACCUSATION - According to the accusation, in fact, after a quarrel with her partner, the woman ran away from the house to take refuge in the bar under the house, where Fadda had reached her and wounded her with a kitchen knife and then loaded her into the car together with the daughters and flee to Ossi, abandoning her in agony in an apartment near the doctor's office. The victim had been rescued by an ambulance, but attempts to save her life had been in vain.

The civil party lawyers, lawyer Teresa Pes for the victim's mother and lawyer Pietro Diaz for her daughters, were associated with the request of the prosecutor, making compensation claims for at least 600 thousand euros each.

THE DEFENSE - According to the defender, however, "neither the report produced by the prosecution nor the testimonies dissolve the doubts and prove that it was Fadda who injured the victim". The lawyer Galisai asks in the alternative for Fadda the minimum penalty and all the extenuating circumstances of the case, arguing that "it is impossible to speak of premeditation, because in that case my client would certainly not have expected to mortally wound the woman in a bar, in front of of other people ".
