The next July 7th will be the day of the examination on the clothes, shoes and accessories worn by Manuela Murgia on the day of her death, which occurred on February 4th 1995 in Cagliari. The clothes were found at the end of March in the premises of the now decommissioned Institute of Forensic Medicine.
The investigating judge Giorgio Altieri has scheduled the evidentiary incident in Cagliari: the evidence will be analyzed in the cross-examination between the parties. On this occasion, the genetic profile of the only suspect, Enrico Astero, the victim's ex-boyfriend, will also be acquired and compared.
In the meantime, all the documents of the investigation into the Tuvixeddu mystery have been covered by the secrecy of the investigation. And not only the documents of the new investigations ordered after the reopening of the case with the hypothesis of voluntary homicide, but also those of the proceedings already archived in the past, which have been entirely merged into the new investigation for voluntary homicide.
This was confirmed in recent days by the deputy prosecutor Guido Pani to the lawyer Marco Fausto Piras, defender of Astero (54 years old), the ex-boyfriend of the young woman, registered in the register of suspects precisely in view of the technical investigations on the girl's clothes, found after thirty years in the now decommissioned Institute of Forensic Medicine of the University of via Porcell in Cagliari.
The investigations were opened in March of this year, after a technical consultation by the coroner Roberto Demontis, appointed by the family, who had questioned the hypothesis that the young woman had fallen from the cliff or committed suicide.
The prosecutor Pani has ordered the unrepeatable technical tests on the clothes found, in search of any biological traces. The lawyer of the ex-boyfriend has tried to obtain the investigation documents from the past, all already in the possession of the family lawyers Giulia Lai and Bachisio Mele, lawyers of the sisters, mother and brother of the deceased girl, and of the mother's lawyer, Maria Filomena Marras. (from the outcome of the first autopsy, to the interrogation reports of his client and the sit, the summary witness information, but also the material seized at the place of discovery), but the answer was negative.
