Unfortunately, despite prompt assistance from 118, he lost his life .
The investigation immediately launched by the Carabinieri of the San Vito Company's Mobile Radio Unit, supported by technical findings and toxicology tests, confirmed that Murru was driving under the influence of alcohol, with a blood alcohol level of 2.08 g/l . Following the investigation, he was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide. The Carabinieri of the Muravera station also revoked his gun license as a precautionary measure and seized legally held weapons and ammunition.
