The Carabinieri of the Nuraminis Station executed this morning a custodial order in prison, issued by the Court of Cagliari - GIP Section, against a 67-year-old man resident in Nuraminis, already known for previous episodes of violence and threats.

According to the charges, in early March, after an argument over trivial matters, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at a local farmer who managed to react by hitting him with a stick and disarming him. Taken by surprise, the 67-year-old fled, disappearing into the fields.

The military, who promptly arrived on site, found and seized the weapon used in the attack, a 6.35 caliber revolver with no identifiable brand and with the serial number erased, along with five illegally held rounds of ammunition: a fundamental element for the start of the investigation, which focused on identifying the perpetrator also thanks to the footage from the cameras.

Based on the investigative findings, the 67-year-old was issued a precautionary custody order in prison: found this morning at his home, he was taken to Uta where he will remain at the disposal of the Judicial Authority for the subsequent phases of the proceedings.

The charges against him are aggravated menacing, illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, with the aggravating circumstance of having used a weapon without a serial number and illegally possessed.
