An argument on the coast culminated in an attempted femicide and, shortly thereafter, another argument that ended in bloodshed.
These are the outlines of what happened this morning between Solanas and Quartu, where a man – Alessandro Pintus, 39 years old from Cagliari – shot his wife Michela Rubiu, 47 years old, seriously injuring her and then killing her brother, Andrea Pintus , 42. The 39-year-old then went to the Carabinieri station and was taken to prison. The couple runs a bar together in Solanas, and it is here that the argument reportedly occurred.
This is the initial reconstruction provided by the Carabinieri: the alarm was raised shortly before 6:00 a.m., when 118 notified the officers of the presence of a 47-year-old woman injured in a home in the coastal hamlet of Solanas. The victim was reportedly hit in the head by a gunshot fired by a man who immediately fled in a car.
Shortly after, at 6.10am, a second report to 118 required an urgent intervention in via Asfodelo in Margine Rosso (Quartu), where a 42-year-old man was found to have been hit with a firearm .
