The unknown DNA on the gauze used in the autopsy of Chiara Poggi coincides with a body examined before the crime. The mother of Semplio speaks of “attempt to frame him”, while new appraisals question the time of death
New twist in the yellow by Chiara Poggi: the DNA on the gauze coincides with an autopsy corpse before the murder
A partial DNA, degraded and remained without name for 18 years. Now, that genetic profile – found on the gauze used by the coroner to withdraw biological material from the mouth of Chiara Poggi on the day of the autopsy – would have a “concordance” with that of a corpse subjected to autopsy shortly before the crime of 13 August 2007. The prosecutor of Pavia communicates it, specifying that the body will be re -examined for further investigations entrusted to the anthropologist and medical attention Cristina Cattaneo. The material, according to the advice of the geneticists Carlo Previderè and Pierangela Grignani, would go back to a procedure conducted in a “next time period” to that performed on the victim of Garlasco.
A discovery that reopens scenarios never completely clarified, and that seems to strengthen the hypothesis of a contamination, already hypothesized over the years by Luciano Garofano – today consultant to Andrea Semplio and, at the time, commander of the Ris of Parma – according to which the gauze used would not have been sterile.
The mother of Semplio: “They are deliberately aiming for him”
In the study of Filorosso, live on Rai3, the echo of a pain seventeen long years has made space between testimonies, expert reports and old mistakes never completely clarified. Daniela Ferrari, mother of Andrea Semplio – Chiara Poggi’s childhood friend returned to the register of suspects – took the floor in a firm voice but marked by bitterness: “Our life changed on February 27, but my son did nothing. They are deliberately aiming for it ».
A serious accusation, which alludes to a “attempt to fit it” and which reopens, once again, the most controversial chapter of the Italian black news of the 2000s.
The crime that divided Italy
It was August 13, 2007 when Chiara, 26 years old, was found lifeless in the family house in via Pascoli, in Garlasco. A domestic and ferocious crime, consumed within the walls of a apparently quiet house in a provincial town. From the early hours, the investigation focused on his boyfriend, Alberto Stasi, then twenty -four years old, who said that he had found the body that morning and of calling for help.
Between alibi, skills on the computer, uncertain times and details such as bloodstains and black bicycle, the investigation soon took on complex and divisive contours. In 2009 Stasi was acquitted at first instance for insufficiency of evidence, and still on appeal in 2011. But the Cassation, in 2013, canceled the acquittal, ordering a new trial: two years later the definitive sentence of 16 years of imprisonment for aggravated voluntary murder arrived.
An bis investigation and the return of semium
In the following years, the story never left the media radar. In February of this year, the Pavia Prosecutor’s Office reopened the investigation, inserting among the suspects Andrea Semplio, historical friend of the victim, already heard during the first investigations. His name re -emerged following new technical acquisitions and a review of never completely deepened elements.
The mother, in front of the cameras, reiterated that her son’s alibi has always been clear and verifiable, and that the family “said the truth from the beginning”. “He never went to kill Chiara – he said – and in my opinion they are trying to create a story that does not exist on him”.
The node of the time of death
During the transmission, the luminary of Legal Medicine Vittorio Fineschi focused on a technical detail: Chiara’s body would not have been weighed with the autoptic scale. In the report an estimated weight between 45 and 50 kilos was indicated, and death was placed between 10.30 and 12
An observation that, for Stasi’s lawyer, Antonio De Rinesis, is part of the long list of investigative “errors” who have marked the case: “There has been a person for ten years in prison and I continue to feel for fake steps. The investigation is not a fuffa, it is not pretended. There were more people on the crime scene. “
A mystery that never closes
From the first inspection in the house in via Pascoli to the most recent appraisals, the Garlasco case has moved in unstable balance between procedural certainties and continuous media twists. The condemnation of Stasi was the word for many, for others the beginning of new questions. In the meantime, the appraisals have enriched themselves with new technologies and readings: from DNA analyzes found under Chiara’s nails to the compatibility assessments with bicycles and footwear, passing through testimonies left in the shadows.
Today, after almost two decades, the feeling is that the truth, assuming that it emerges, will never be completely simple. Because in this story – made of broken lives, destroyed families and infinite procedural cards – every answer seems to generate new questions. And Garlasco, once again, returns to being the theater of a yellow that does not stop changing shape.
