There is anticipation in Milan for the summons scheduled for this morning of Chiara Poggi's cousins, Paola and Stefania Cappa , who will be heard by investigators as persons informed of the facts as part of the new investigation, now in its final stages, into the Garlasco crime .
The twins have been repeatedly touched upon—but never investigated—by the new line of inquiry opened by the Pavia Prosecutor's Office into the murder of Chara, who was killed on August 13, 2007, in the family home in Garlasco. Her ex-boyfriend Alberto Stasi was definitively convicted of the crime.
According to the new investigative hypothesis, the murderer of Chiara Poggi was not Alberto Stasi, the then boyfriend of the young woman who is finishing serving a 16-year prison sentence and is currently on semi-liberty, but Andrea Sempio, 19 at the time and a friend of the victim's brother, Marco Poggi , who will be heard tomorrow in Pavia where Andrea Sempio has also been summoned.
Two preliminary investigations, today and tomorrow, are likely a prelude to a request for Sempio's indictment. The suspected motive is a refusal to approach her, to which Sempio—again hypothetically—reacted by attacking the young woman with a blunt object, striking her at least 12 times in the face and head.
At the time of the crime , Paola and Stefania Cappa were 23 years old and lived in the same household as the Poggi family. Their depositions should help shed further light on Chiara's life in the days leading up to the crime and to determine, as Paola indicated in 2007 when discussing the "passionate lead," whether she had been the target of advances that were rejected.
Meanwhile , Andrea Sempio's defense team has "assigned a psychotherapist to prepare a personality assessment" for the 38-year-old man under investigation for the murder of Chiara Poggi in the new investigation by the Pavia prosecutor's office. This action, according to Liborio Cataliotti, one of the defense team's representatives, is one of the "prerequisites deemed appropriate by the defense team prior to any potential questioning" of Sempio.
"We announce that he will exercise his right to remain silent ," the lawyers later announced, confirming what had already been speculated in the last few hours, "reserving the right to ask" the prosecutors to summon him again for questioning after the outcome of this consultation . The interrogation has been scheduled for tomorrow.
