Fabrizio Congiu has chosen the path of silence . This morning, in the interrogation for the validation of the arrest for the murder of Venerato Sardu , the 52-year-old beggar accused of having killed his landlord made use of the right not to answer . Defended by his lawyer Stefano Pisano, he said nothing about what happened on Friday evening in the ground floor apartment in via Ogliastra 21, in Cagliari.
Now the judge Giuseppe Pintori will have to decide on the validation and whether to confirm the detention in prison for the man. Meanwhile, an autopsy has also been arranged on the 75-year-old's body which will be performed by the coroner Roberto Demontis.
More details about the affair begin to filter through which would confirm the hypothesis of the dispute over unpaid rent .
THE RECONSTRUCTION – The bailiff appeared on Tuesday 14 February to notify Fabrizio Congiu of the eviction order for non-payment : he had not paid for the room on the third floor of via Ogliastra 21 for almost a year now . The 52-year-old requested and was granted an extension until March 7 , guaranteeing that he would leave the house without any problems. A legal case followed by the victim's lawyer, Stefano Piras.
The two probably argued on Friday evening and, as reconstructed by the carabinieri of the provincial nucleus of Cagliari, Congiu would have hit the owner of the building on the head with a tool , it looks like a large pincer, killing him.
THE INVESTIGATIONS – Elements useful for the investigation could also come from the analyzes that the Ris will carry out on the objects seized in the house of the victim and the suspect : in addition to the pincers, a knife, other tools and cell phones. There are also images of the video surveillance systems present on the facade of the building , but also at the entrance and inside Sardu's house (a sign that the old man, a former radio technician, a great lover of checkers and chess, was particularly concerned about the his safety).
Congiu was often placed in via Manno and other shopping streets to beg , he also had a small dog now taken over by his sister .
In the past, the 52-year-old had ended up in handcuffs for robbery (he had threatened a young woman with a pair of scissors, taking away her cell phone) and for theft.
