In the house he kept clandestine weapons, all ready to shoot . A 61-year-old from Villanovafranca ended up in prison.
In his home , the carabinieri recovered 2 hand-made pistols and 11 20 and 28 caliber cartridges, along with other components that would have been assembled to improve them or build new handcrafted objects.
In what had been set up as a real laboratory, the man was able to build the various weapons he designed using hydraulic iron pipes, creating the firing pin, barrel, cocking pulls and handle , everything was welded and screwed in such a way perfect therefore making them offensive.
The Sanluri military had been keeping an eye on the 61-year-old for days, already known to the police, and in these hours the intervention was triggered.
The two self-made pistols are muzzle-loading, single-shot, certainly lethal, without any safety device and therefore very dangerous even if only for anyone who has handled them.
The arrest, for illegal possession of weapons, was validated and the man was placed under house arrest.
