We are looking for the body of Francesca Deidda, the 42-year-old who has been missing since May , according to investigators coordinated by prosecutor Marco Cocco , killed by her husband Igor Sollai , a 43-year-old lorry driver in prison for aggravated voluntary homicide and concealment of a corpse.
The Carabinieri are organizing a wide-ranging roundup in the San Sperate area: the Cacciatori di Sardegna, the soldiers of the Iglesias Company together with colleagues from the investigative unit of the Cagliari Provincial Command, the Fire Brigade and the Civil Protection are involved.
The searches are concentrated in the places where Francesca Deidda's cell phone was active , that never found cell phone that Igor Sollai, according to those investigating , would have used to replace her, sending messages to reassure relatives and friends . The woman disappeared into thin air at the end of May, she left her job in the call center without saying anything to her colleagues, resigning out of the blue with an email sent, according to investigators, by Sollai.
The possible motive has also been identified. Sollai had started another parallel relationship some time ago and the origin of the crime would have been the fear of losing the house in via Monastir in San Sperate , now under seizure. The arrest was made due to the risk of escape, the suspect in fact has relatives in the Netherlands and there was a real risk that he would leave the island .
Sollai, defended by the lawyers Laura Pirarba and Carlo Demurtas, declared himself innocent and availed himself of the right not to answer the questions of the investigating judge Ermengarda Ferrarese and who validated the arrest by ordering precautionary custody in prison. He had spoken to the police about the woman's voluntary removal, who "needed to reflect" , the same things that - according to those investigating - he wrote from Francesca's phone to relatives and friends to reassure them.
To close the circle, investigators are now looking for Francesca Deidda's body. In the next few hours , investigations on Sollai's cars and apartment will also be planned .
