In Pattada, in 2021, a 78-year-old man allegedly bit his 75-year-old brother 19 times during a violent altercation, sparked by the younger man taking apricots from his older relative . Yesterday, a hearing on the incident was held in Sassari court, where both men are charged with assault because the 75-year-old, according to the charges, also kicked his opponent in the testicles and struck him with a screwdriver in the chin, requiring seven days of hospitalization. But according to the medical report, the younger man was the one who fared the worst, having been given 40 days in hospital. "This was also the cause of the 33 screwdriver blows he received to his arm and chest," argued Sabina Useli, the man's lawyer. Who is said to be an expert in taekwondo, as recalled by Giampaolo Campus, the 78-year-old's lawyer , who downplayed his client's responsibilities, among other things attributing the possession of the screwdriver to the other brother.
Prosecutor Angelo Beccu requested a sentence of one year and six months for the older relative and nine months for the other. Judge Sara Pelicci adjourned the case until June for further arguments and sentencing.
