Menacing messages and letters but also continuous phone calls and stalking. Until last night when in addition to his ex-partner, a 61-year-old from Marrubiu found the carabinieri who arrested him for stalking.
It is the umpteenth case of persecutions registered in the province of Oristano in the first months of the year and falls within that series of crimes which, as the provincial commander of the carabinieri Erasmo Fontana recalled on the occasion of the Arma festival, «are growing and more and more brutal".
Thursday night a 59-year-old woman asked the police for help because once again her ex-husband was following her, after his attitudes had become increasingly insistent and annoying for some time. Marrubiu's soldiers intervened immediately and arrested Francesco Garau in the act.
The man, assisted by the lawyer Piero Aroni, appeared in Court for the express report; the lawyer asked for terms of defense and judge Paola Bussu postponed the hearing to June 19, ordering house arrest for the man.
