The unemployed Fabrizio Congiu, accused of the murder of his landlord, Venerato Sardu, was sentenced to thirty years in prison by the Assize Court of Cagliari . The prosecution, with the public prosecutor Andrea Massidda, had requested life imprisonment for him.
Once the reasons for the sentence have been filed, the defense attorney Stefano Pisano will be able to appeal.
The trial has thus ended before the Court presided over by Judge Lucia Perra, with Roberto Cau on her side, on the murder that occurred in February 2023 when Sardu, 75 years old, was found lifeless in his home in via Ogliastra, Is Mirrionis district . A few days later, Congiu, 53 years old , was arrested.
The victim owned the entire building, where the defendant lived on the third floor for rent but had been evicted because he hadn't paid for months . According to the prosecution, the 53-year-old killed Venerato Sardu in an attempted robbery. He had entered the ground floor apartment to steal his money, but the situation degenerated and he hit him with a hammer and a knife . Much of the scene was then filmed by a hidden camera that was later found by the Carabinieri investigators. The family has filed a civil action with the lawyer Pierluigi Concas.
