Overview
- Prosecutors in Pavia reworded the charge Wednesday to name Sempio as the sole killer and set his interrogation for Wednesday, May 6, at 10 a.m.
- The new accusation adds a sexual motive and cruelty, alleging at least 12 blows to the head and face with part of the assault carried out on the stairs to the cellar.
- Investigators point to DNA under the victim’s fingernails compatible with Sempio’s paternal line, bloodstain analysis indicating one assailant, phone activity in Garlasco, and doubts about a parking receipt used as an alibi.
- A medico‑legal review by Cristina Cattaneo widens the estimated time of death, which could place the killing later in the morning than past rulings, a shift that prosecutors say fits Sempio’s movements.
- Pavia has asked Milan’s top prosecutors to weigh a bid to review Alberto Stasi’s final conviction, as Sempio’s lawyers protest limited access to case files and a family consultant disputes the scene reconstruction, citing no drag marks and sparse blood traces on the first steps.
