He keeps repeating: "She jumped. Torment, a difficult life." Mariano Pinna, the eighty-seven-year-old under investigation for the murder of his partner Florea Florina, a sixty-six-year-old of Romanian origin, defended by lawyer Carlo Monaldi, recalls those tragic moments of yesterday. The fall from the window of a third-floor room at Is Corrias, on Via Logudoro, in Selargius, the impact against the ground amidst the cars, the pulseless pulse, and the instant death: "I have suffered a loss," he says.
An autopsy was performed yesterday afternoon by coroner Roberto Demontis and his team at Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari. While further evidence is pending, the various hypotheses already being discussed yesterday remain unresolved: homicide, essentially someone pushing her, and suicide has not yet been ruled out.
The investigation by the Carabinieri of the Cagliari Investigative Unit is continuing. Persons must be interviewed, and the circumstances surrounding the fall—which presents a number of suspicious elements—must be reconstructed. In the apartment, now sealed and subjected to the equipment of specialists from the Cagliari RIS, traces of blood were reportedly found. This led to the suspicion of a struggle prior to the fall. This may or may not be consistent with the presence of blood in the apartment, which could not be described as being in good order.
Some neighbors reported hearing loud voices that evening and a phone call from the woman. These are all elements that are at the heart of investigators' work in what remains a murky woman's death.
