Moussa Sangare, who wanted to keep the knife with which he killed Sharon Verzeni as a “souvenir”

He wanted to keep the knifewith which he hit Sharon Verzeni four times and killed her on the night of July 30, as a “souvenir”. After the crime, Moussa Sangare buried it on the banks of the Adda, while he threw the other knives from the block into the river. In this way, “I could double-check if it was still there. And I wanted to keep it as a souvenir of what I had done.”

In the interrogation he was subjected to yesterday, in the Bergamo prison, Moussa Sangare answered as if he were reciting the verses of a trap song: to the ritual questions to confirm his identity he responded with a series of “yeah”. According to the investigating judge of Bergamo, Raffaella Mascarino, the behavior is imbued with “the values ​​transmitted by a musical genre that exalts violence, extreme sex, the need to prevail over others through subjection members of a general group of the company”. And to the question: “Did he regret it?”, the 30-year-old replied: “Yes, but unfortunately it happened, a month has passed, I can’t cry, and I can’t be depressed for months: that thing lasts a couple of days, then you have to recoverotherwise you’ll get down and never get back up again.”

According to the investigating judge, Moussa Sangare’s mental state is “fully intact”as can be deduced from the “lucidity in adopting a series of measures that night”. Before attacking Sharon Verzeni, the young man had carefully searched for the “most vulnerable target”. After having threatened the minors in Chignolo d’Isola, then having evaluated whether to rob the man with the computer in the car, and having weighed up, as potential victims, “the man with the cigarette” and “the bald guy”, Moussa Sangare opts for Sharon Verzeni, “the right target”, writes the investigating judge: “A lonely woman, looking at the stars, walkedfrom behind, more vulnerable than the other subjects identified previously”.

After taking her life, “he rides his bike, on secondary roads, loses his cap and comes back to get it, cuts his hair, modifies his bike, gets rid of knives and clothes.” In prison, psychiatrists visited him “and found no psychiatric pathologiesneither recent nor remote”. Returning to the house he occupied in Suisio, Sangare says he “felt a comfort”, that a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

«The murder was carried out in the most ttotal absence of any understandable motivation, in a completely casual, gratuitous, not to say capricious manner». In the order validating the arrest and ordering the prison sentence, the investigating judge describes Moussa Sangare as «a person who, often in the grip of boredom, was assailed by the desire to actually experience strong emotions». The charge is murder aggravated by premeditation and futile motives.
