They will be buried next to each other and will have a single funeral, as their families had requested. In Quartu there will be the last farewell to Giacomo Desogus and Matthias Steri, the twenty-eight year olds who died Sunday in the countryside of Santu Lianu.
This morning, after the autopsies performed on Wednesday and Thursday, the bodies were released from seizure and the family was able to organize the funeral. They feared they would not be able to bury their children before Christmas, but everything was resolved quickly.
And everything is ready at the cemetery too: the two boys, linked by a deep friendship since they were in kindergarten, will be buried in two nearby niches, in the newly built part on Via Marconi.
Together, as they had always been during their short life. Giacomo and Matthias, after kindergarten, attended elementary and middle school and also catechism in the parish of Santo Stefano. Then, when they grew up a little, Matthias's mother, Maria Grazia, said with emotion, "they lost sight of each other a bit but then found each other again and never left each other again." Until Sunday, after an afternoon of hunting, which should have been carefree and which instead ended in tragedy. The two boys always went hunting together, even though Matthias didn't have a gun license, but he loved nature, he loved Giacomo's dogs and he even went to the gun shop with him to buy cartridges.
Separate, one for each, are only the funeral posters. That of Giacomo Desogus “Our love give us the strength to overcome this great pain, guide us you who are an Angel of the Lord” and that of Matthias Steri, “Our heart you have left us all a great void difficult to fill, may the Lord welcome you in his arms, you are our Angel”.
The autopsies performed by coroner Roberto Demontis have confirmed what had been hypothesized since the bodies were found: the one who fired a shotgun in a tragic accident was Matthias Steri who then, overcome by grief, took his own life.
