"I'm a stranger to the facts", thus began the breeder Fabio Fois, 57 years old from Girasole, before the judges of the Assize Court of Cagliari who are trying him for the murder of Fabio Longoni and the attempted murder of Daniele Conigiu, both of Villagrande Strisaili, killed in an ambush and shot on November 22, 2017.
In the courtroom presided over by judge Giovanni Massidda, the accused - defended by the lawyer Marcello Caddori - defended himself by reiterating that he was not the killer and explaining that he never knew that his two donkeys had been stolen, but of always been convinced that they had fled alone.
"If I had known that they had been stolen from me - he repeated - I would have gone to talk to them or would have filed a complaint. Not one starts shooting for 500 euros that are worth the two donkeys. The donkeys were gone, I searched for them for a long time but not I found them".
During the hearing, Fois spoke for hours, answering the questions of the defender, but also of Lanusei's prosecutor Biagio Mazzeo, of the plaintiffs Paolo and Bruno Pilia, but also to those of President Massidda.
The accused also recalled when he was convicted and imprisoned for a lightning kidnapping of a young man, but reiterated that he was not in the least involved in the mortal ambush where Longoni lost his life and Conigiu was wounded who, in a second time, it turned out that they were the ones who took the two donkeys. In the end, he also directed a message to his great accuser, Daniele Conigiu (present in the courtroom), to whom he reiterated that he was a stranger and to reflect if, in his past, there is something more serious than a theft of donkeys. Next hearing on March 9th.
