"We waited for justice and so it was. There will be no forgiveness on our part for a person like him who destroyed our lives." These are bitter words from Giusy Saladdino, daughter of Basilio "Dino" Saladdino and Liliana Mancusa, cruelly killed by their son-in-law Fulvio Baule on February 26, 2022 , in Porto Torres, reducing his ex-wife Ilaria Saladdino to the brink of death. The 43-year-old bricklayer from Ploaghe was sentenced to life imprisonment in the first instance, a verdict confirmed yesterday by the Court of Assizes of Appeal of Sassari, after two hours of deliberation.
"Living everyday life is not easy," adds Giusy. "On March 30, three years ago, we lost our mother, after the death of my father, killed with unheard-of cruelty , and just yesterday, March 31, my son turned 15, but every time it is difficult to celebrate, to pretend to be happy when inside we live an immense pain." The Court did not accept the request of the defense lawyer, Nicola Lucchi, to reinstate the psychiatric assessment , in order to obtain recognition of mitigating circumstances and therefore a possible reduction of the sentence. The defense will probably appeal to the Supreme Court for the third degree of judgment.
The double homicide occurred three years ago in Porto Torres, when on the evening of February 26, Baule, after arguing with his ex-wife, in front of the building where she had moved to live with her parents, took the axe from the trunk of his car and hit his father-in-law Basilio in the head, who died after a few minutes, then his wife and finally his mother-in-law Liliana Mancusa, who died after about a month of agony . Ilaria was seriously injured. A massacre committed in front of her two one-year-old twin children.
