It is said that Matthias Steri fired a shotgun, killing his close friend Giacomo Desogus . Then, in despair and guilt, using the same weapon, he took his own life on a hill in the countryside of Santu Lianu, in the municipality of Quartu, during a hunting trip that ended in a double tragedy last Sunday .
The autopsies performed on the bodies of the 28-year-old Quartesi at Brotzu confirm the investigators' reconstruction. Now we await the ballistic tests, the examination of cartridges and rifle to have a complete picture.
The most widely accepted hypothesis is that of a tragic fatality . Desogus, owner of the weapon and with a regular gun license, could have given the rifle to his friend to try to shoot. Steri could have stumbled, he could have made a sudden movement in an attempt to hit a bird : the gunshot would have killed Desogus.
