Wine Entrepreneur Held in Killing of Cinzia Pinna as Forensics Detail Bloodied Scene

He told investigators he fired in self-defence.

Overview

  • Carabinieri RIS returned to the Conca Bentosa estate, documenting extensive blood traces inside the house and outside, plus a small amount of white powder that was sent to Cagliari for analysis.
  • Investigators used surveillance footage and phone data to trace Emanuele Ragnedda’s car to the property after a gap of at least five hours following Pinna’s departure from a Palau venue.
  • Ragnedda is in custody on accusations of aggravated voluntary homicide and concealment of a corpse, with a court hearing to validate the arrest expected today.
  • The body, recovered on the wine estate, awaits autopsy and toxicology to determine the cause of death, the number of shots and whether sexual violence occurred, a process complicated by decomposition.
  • Police say Ragnedda attempted to flee by sea, then barricaded himself at a family villa in Baja Sardinia before surrendering to officers.
