New forensic evidence from the Torino Civic Morgue has shed light on the tragic events in Baldissero d'Alba. The autopsy of Gjovalin Lazri confirms a single fatal shot to the neck, a detail that could be pivotal in determining whether homeowner Roberto Mollo acted in legitimate self-defense during the attempted robbery.

Forensic Breakthrough in Cuneo Investigation

The judicial investigation into the homicide that occurred on September 20 in Baldissero d'Alba (Cuneo province) has reached a critical technical turning point.

According to reports from the Torino Civic Morgue, the autopsy performed on Gjovalin Lazri (36) confirmed that death was caused by a precise projectile impact in the neck area. This technical detail is essential for the court to reconstruct the final moments of the encounter.

The accused, Roberto Mollo (35), a truck driver by profession, is currently under investigation for voluntary homicide and attempted homicide. Ballistic records indicate that Mollo fired a total of 12 shots during the incident; however, the forensic report ratifies that only one of these projectiles was responsible for the victim's death.

Incident Timeline

The event unfolded when Lazri allegedly entered Mollo's property with the intent to commit a robbery. At 02:17 AM, the homeowner contacted emergency services (112) to report a person lying on the ground.

Legal Concept: Self-Defense

Mollo claims "Legitimate Defense" (Self-Defense), arguing his reaction was a proportional response to the threat of an intruder in his home.

Current Legal Status & Analysis

Despite the precision of the impact site, the prosecutor's office and forensic experts are still working to reconstruct the exact dynamics. They are analyzing the projectile trajectory and the relative positions of both individuals to determine if the force used was excessive or aligned with legal self-defense parameters.

Legal Note: The charge of "voluntary homicide" remains active while the judiciary evaluates whether the quantity of shots fired (12) constitutes an excess of self-defense.
What Happens Next?

The prosecution could request an expanded statement from Roberto Mollo to contrast his testimony with the trajectory revealed by the autopsy. Furthermore, it would be probable that the judge analyzes if there are grounds to reduce the charge from voluntary homicide to manslaughter, or potentially dismiss the case if legitimate defense is fully proven. The final outcome would be subject to the completion of ballistic expertise.
