For hours, yesterday, firefighters and civil protection emptied theWater from the stream that runs behind the old house, now uninhabited, of the grandmother of the Twin Cappa (do not investigate), in Tromello, to facilitate research and recover any useful trace. From the mud, in the evening, A hammer has emerged, now at the center of the investigations The investigators: if he were compatible with the crime weapon, he could shed light on the murder of Chiara Poggi, the 26 -year -old student killed in his home in Garlasco on 13 August 2007.

In recent days, the rumor had spread that the carabinieri were looking for in the moat of Tromello “an aid from the fireplace”. But it was not true: the victim’s parents immediately denied, specifying that “All the fireplace tools are still there.” Missing from the house, however, would be just a hammera circumstance already emerged during the first investigations and which now assumes new relief in the light of the discovery in the channel. The Poggi family, already in the first inspections after the crime, had in fact reported the disappearance of a hammer, a detail that makes the discovery particularly significant.

The investigation, despite having already led to the definitive sentence of the then boyfriend Alberto Stasi, is continuing with new slopes and hypotheses. A turning point came from the broadcast The hyenaswhich reported an unpublished testimony on the morning of the murder. A new witness said he heard from a person, now deceased, who would have seen Stefaniaone of the “Cappa Twin”, get to Tromeello with a very heavy bagask a neighbor for the keys to the family home and, shortly after, hear a strong thud, similar to that of a heavy object thrown into the channel waters. The area indicated in the testimony coincides with the one where metal objects were found, including the hammer.

The most recent searches have also involved the houses of friends and acquaintancesincluding those of two friends of Chiara Poggi’s brother, Marco, who attended the family home in the years of the crime. To Andrea Semplio, the only suspect Today, due to the case, electronic devices have been seized, including USB sticks, computers and phones, to reconstruct relationships, habits and movements during the murder period. The grandmother’s house, abandoned for years and surrounded by weeds, has also been inspected: notebooks, manuscript diaries and judicial documents were found there. The lawyers of Semplio expressed concern about the searches: “Andrea is serene and available,” he told the Courier The lawyer Angela Taccia, “but the timing of the searches have been unpleasant”.

The parents by Chiara Poggi, on the other hand, remain convinced of Alberto Stasi’s guilt (which is now in semi -freedom)and they say they are “thrilled” For new investigations, as their lawyer explains, Francesco companion. “Our system attributes to the prosecutors a very large power in the phase of investigations but not for this reason investigators can place themselves above the jurisdiction ignoring what has been ascertained in a fair trial, enhancing – after almost 20 years – of the extravagant hypotheses».
