Garlasco, prosecutors: 'Andrea Sempio on trial for the murder of Chiara Poggi. He acted with cruelty and hatred'

The Pavia Prosecutor's Office has requested the trial of Andrea Sempio for the aggravated murder of Chiara Poggi, which occurred on 13 August 2007 in Garlasco. Crime for which Alberto Stasi was definitively sentenced to 16 years. The request for indictment must be evaluated by a preliminary hearing judge after the preliminary hearing has been set.

In requesting Sempio's trial, the prosecutor confirmed the two aggravating circumstances already contested with the closure of the investigation: having "acted with cruelty towards the victim in consideration of the brutality of the murder due to the number and extent of the wounds inflicted on the victim, of which at least 12 lesions on the skull and face" and "having committed the act for abject reasons, attributable to hatred for the victim following the rejection of his sexual approach". We can read it in the indictment forwarded to the preliminary hearing judge.
