Yesterday morning, specialists from the Carabinieri Scientific Investigations Unit (RIS) compared the DNA of Enrico Astero, the ex-boyfriend of 16-year-old Manuela Murgia, who is being investigated for voluntary homicide, with that extracted from a hair found thirty years later in the clothes the young woman was wearing on the day of her death , which occurred on February 4, 1995. Her lifeless body was found at the foot of the Tuvixeddu canyon.
It will take a few days to know the results of the RIS investigation, but that same test—as permitted by the rules of preliminary investigation—has already been carried out in the meantime by General Luciano Garofano, the 54-year-old's defense consultant. And the results leave no room for doubt: there is no match between the genetic profile of that male specimen and Astero's DNA .
Further details and insights are available in today's article and on the L'Unione Digital app.
