Michele Misseri will be released next Sunday. The uncle of Sarah Scazzi, killed at the age of 15 in 2010 in Avetrana and thrown into a well, was convicted of the crime and served - obtaining a reduction of over 400 days - an 8-year prison sentence for the suppression of the body . In a cell in Taranto, with a life sentence, are Michele's wife, Cosima Serrano, and his daughter Sabrina.
Misseri, 69 years old, is instead in Lecce prison from which he will be released on 11 February to return to the villa in via Grazia Deledda. The mayor will sign a local police ordinance to close the road to traffic: «We hope that there will no longer be the same media circus of the time. I don't think so, but this is my hope, also out of respect for Sarah's memory and her family. We want Avetrana to be remembered for something else, not for this sad and painful event", said the mayor, Antonio Iazzi.
The Misseri house, where Sarah was killed according to the reconstruction of the investigators by Cosima and Sabrina (while Michele would have dealt with the suppression of the body), «I understand - reports the mayor - that it has been abandoned for years. Michele's other daughter, moreover, already lived outside."
According to the sentences, the crime was triggered by romantic rivalries and disagreements between the cousins Sabrina and Sarah. Mayor Iazzi finally explains that «if requests are received from social services, what is expected for a person in Michele Misseri's state will be done. I don't want this to be emphasized. Social services would do what is expected for categories of subjects such as an ex-prisoner. Misseri has always been an autonomous person. However, no request to this effect had been received until the day before yesterday."
