Overview
- Emanuele Ragnedda, 41, has been arrested on accusations of aggravated homicide and concealment of a corpse after telling investigators he shot Pinna in self‑defense.
- Carabinieri RIS found extensive blood traces throughout his Conca Bentosa estate and seized a small amount of white powder and a 9x21 pistol reportedly kept in a drawer.
- Investigators say CCTV, license‑plate identification and phone data traced the car seen picking up Pinna from a Palau venue and linked it to Ragnedda, helping reconstruct a five‑hour gap in her movements.
- Police reports describe an attempted escape by sea from Cannigione and a later barricade at a family villa in Baja Sardinia before Ragnedda surrendered to officers.
- Autopsy, toxicology and lab analyses remain pending to determine the cause of death, the number of shots and whether sexual violence occurred, and authorities are still evaluating possible accomplice involvement.
