Milan, 27 November. (LaPresse) – According to Andrea Sempio's defence team, there is a ‘lack of decisive data’ that would ‘make that DNA evidence conclusive in relation to the murder.’ This was announced by lawyers Liborio Cataliotti and Angela Taccia, together with their technical consultants Marina Baldi and Armando Palmeggiani, in response to the certified email sent yesterday by Denise Albani, the expert witness in the preliminary hearing for the Garlasco murder, Denise Albani, and in the evening by the investigating magistrate of Pavia, Daniela Garlaschelli, to the defence, in which she speaks of ‘full concordance’ between the Y haplotype found in 2007 on two of Chiara Poggi's fingernails and the paternal line of the 37-year-old shop assistant from Voghera. The forensic expert confirmed what had already “largely emerged” during the hearing on 26 September, namely that the genetic profile is “partial, mixed and unconsolidated haplotype”. “Was it from direct contact between the two bodies or from contact with the same object?”, ask Sempio's defence team. “And when did the contact occur?”. “Without these answers,” they conclude, “any assessment is premature”.
