"Do you recognize your responsibility in the murder of Antonio Fara?". "Absolutely no, Antonio was a friend of mine ."
Claudio Dettori , the 25-year-old accused of the murder of Antonio Fara, the bartender found dead with his skull split in his apartment in via Livorno in Sassari, on the morning of April 23, 2021, thus answered today the first question put to him by the prosecutor Giovanni Porcheddu, during the exam which he accepted to undergo the ongoing trial in the Court of Assizes in Sassari.
Assisted by the lawyer Bruno Conti, the seventh after six colleagues have resigned, Dettori answered the questions of the deputy prosecutor and the plaintiff lawyer, Simone Pisano. " He was hosting me because I felt sorry for him , I lived in a difficult situation, I slept outdoors", explained the young man before the court presided over by judge Mauro Pusceddu (on the side of Giulia Tronci).
Then the story of the last hours spent in that apartment: "It seemed like a day like any other. Then he told me he had to go out to meet people, he was worried. He left me the house keys and left."
The defendant said he went out later and came back the next morning when he found the bartender's body wrapped in a blanket: "I knelt down and tried to revive him. But someone rang the bell and they searched to kick in the door. There were two of them. I panicked, I called the carabinieri and ran away because I was afraid they would accuse me. "
Then, the story continues, Dettori went to work - a worker on a construction site - before being found and arrested in the late afternoon by the carabinieri. The 25-year-old has therefore denied any wrongdoing, said he does not recognize himself in the videos that frame him several times as he enters and leaves the apartment and when he breaks a camera with a stone.
The trial was adjourned to next week to hear a police officer from Ris, before the trial.
