Present in court will be attorney Pietro Diaz, Costantino Biello, representing the Sedda family, who are civil plaintiffs, and Alessandra Delrio, defense counsel.
Porto Torres, omicidio Sedda: giudizio immediato per Sircana
The lists of witnesses will be filed and the scheduling of upcoming hearings will be finalized. RIS technicians in Cagliari have conducted tests on the clothing worn by Sedda on the night of the crime, with the aim of gathering more clues and evidence that could lead investigators to find answers to such a brutal crime. It was April 1, 2021, when Mario Sedda's body was found hidden among the bushes in the gardens of Via Sassari, at the entrance to the city of Porto Torres. The autopsy revealed that the tip of a broken ceramic knife blade was embedded in the victim's face. The body also bore injuries caused by punches, kicks, and stones. The killer allegedly attacked the victim, torturing her and dousing her body with chemicals until it was completely disfigured.
