They were entering the world of work and cultivated hopes and passions like all their peers. They had fun like all their peers, and on Sunday morning at dawn they returned from an evening in a club in Poetto.
Returning home they found dead in via Marconi, in Cagliari: Alessandro Sanna , 19 years old from Assemini (he was driving the Ford Fiesta), Najibe Zaher , 19 years old from Selargius, Giorgia Banchero , 24 years old from Cagliari, and Simone Picci , 20 years old from Cagliari.
Alessandro Sanna planned to open a small business in the air conditioning sector and cultivated his passion for football . The members of Asd Frassinetti Elmas, the team in which he had played in previous years, remembered him by publishing a photo of him.
Najibe Zaher, daughter of the city councilor Omar , had to choose how to continue her studies and possibly which faculty to enroll in. In his latest videos on Tik Tok he sings to the tune of neo-melodic artists and Arabic-speaking rappers . Needless to say, the news shocked the town celebrating the traditional Selargino wedding. Mayor Gigi Concu expressed his condolences in a message on Facebook.
Giorgia Banchero lived in the Sant'Elia district: daughter of a manager from Vecchio Borgo Sant'Elia , the Italian Cup match scheduled for today was postponed due to mourning. She was a great lover of sweets . The message from her sister Francesca on Facebook was heartbreaking: «You were supposed to be my son's godmother. I put my necklace on you and I don't say goodbye, you will always be with me."
Last January, Simone Picci was injured in another fatal accident that occurred along the Median Axis . He had suffered injuries that healed in 30 days, while the driver of the Smart in which he was traveling lost his life. The father was killed in 2016 at the height of an argument in via Pertusola, in the Is Mirrionis district of Cagliari.
Many friends in tears on social media, numerous messages of condolence and desperation: " It's a bad day for the passing of four friends who flew to heaven ", those who knew them wrote on Facebook. "I can't believe it, poor kids and poor families," adds a friend of Giorgia's.
Heartbreaking scenes at the San Michele cemetery , where a few hours after the tragedy the bodies were taken for identification and a devastated crowd gathered.
Alessandro, Najibe, Simone and Giorgia are not the only young victims of this bloody day on the streets of Cagliari. Another fatal accident occurred in Pula, on State Road 195: Davide Martini lost his life when he crashed his motorbike into a bus . Resident in Pula and originally from Tortolì, he was just 24 years old .
