In an atmosphere of infinite emotion, the funeral of Maria Dolores Cannas, the 57-year-old mother killed on Sunday afternoon in her home by her son Andrea, took place in the afternoon in the parish church of Santa Barbara in Sinnai.
There was great emotion when the funeral procession reached the parish churchyard with the woman's husband, her daughter Francesca and the other close family members. Also waiting for the coffin was the mayor Barbara Pusceddu accompanied by Captain Giuseppe Fiori, commander of the local police.
The touching words of Don Carlo Frau, a relative of the Tidu family, who took up the Gospel of Saint Mark.
«Mother Dolores – said the priest – is already in heaven, she has already forgiven her son Andrea. Now he must also ask for the Lord's forgiveness . This is a story that saddens us, which has deeply saddened the entire Sinnai community. Now it is mother Dolores who turns her attention on her family from above."
On Tuesday evening there was also a torchlight procession in the streets of Sinnai. «We did it – said the parish priest, Father Gabriele Biccai – as a sign of hope. Even a small torch must be seen as a small hope for a better future . There is a real need for it."
