A real ambush that this morning, around 7, occurred in Oliena. The 59-year-old farmer Tonino Corrias ended up in the sights of several rifle shots.
The man had just left the house and was getting into his car, a blue Ford Fiesta, to reach his fold. But someone - or more than one person - was waiting for him between via Agostino Depretis and via Massaua, and he fired, perhaps from a close range given the limited width of the alley.
On the spot there are the carabinieri coordinated by Lieutenant Colonel Gianluca Graziani, commander of the Nuoro company, who will also analyze the surveillance cameras of the nearby Town Hall to try to understand if in the frames the passage of some person may have been immortalized. Also present were the deputy prosecutor Ireno Satta and the Nuoro prosecutor Patrizia Castaldini.
The victim's body was covered with a golden sheet waiting to be removed, while the hunt for the killer has already begun.
Corrias in the past has escaped two other similar episodes: in 2001 and in 2015.
"Events of this kind deeply affect an entire community - is the comment of the mayor, Bastiano Congiu -. In these cases we must not let go of dismay and fear, but react immediately, demonstrating unity, gathering around a mother and her two young people. children above all, who have been so cruelly deprived of the father figure ". "Oliena - added the mayor - is for the vast majority a country of honest and hardworking people, but unfortunately it is not immune from certain phenomena, which have occurred in the past and also today. A community proves to be such both in moments of joy but also in these terrible moments of sadness, so I am convinced that the right support and closeness to the family will not be lacking ".
