Sassari The Court of Cassation confirmed the life sentence for Claudio Dettorithe 27-year-old from Sassari already sentenced in first and second degree to life imprisonment for the murder of Antonio Farathe 47-year-old bartender killed with a hammer in his apartment on the evening of April 22, 2021.
The defense lawyer’s appeal was therefore rejected Giuseppe Onorato who had insisted in particular on the unusability of the psychiatric report which had ascertained the defendant’s capacity for understanding and will at the time of the crime.
At the time of the murder, Claudio Dettori had been a guest of the bartender for about two months when on the morning of April 22 – according to the prosecution’s theory – he hit him on the head, killing him. From the first moment suspicions fell on him who, before escaping, had alerted the police by telephone, reporting a probable murder in the apartment: some video surveillance cameras in the area had filmed him entering and leaving the apartment in times compatible with the crime.
“Justice has been done”, said the victim’s family, protected by lawyers Simone Pisano And Gianmario Fois. While the defendant’s defense lawyer commented: “The Supreme Court has ruled against him and the conviction is confirmed. But many questions remain open and we will evaluate whether to address them European Court of Strasbourg”
