From the bloody fragment of the bath mat in the small villa in Via Pascoli to the never analysed remains found in the rubbish of the Poggi house: today, Thursday 12 June. The forensic experts appointed by the Pavia gip, Daniela Garlaschelli - the geneticist Denise Albani and the dactyloscopist Domenico Marchegiani - will collect the findings of the Garlasco murder, at the centre of the evidentiary incident that will begin on 17 June, as part of the new investigation by the Pavia public prosecutor's office, in which Andrea Sempio is being investigated for murder in conspiracy.

The experts are expected at 10 a.m. at the Carabinieri headquarters in Via Moscova in Milan, where they will collect a box containing the approximately sixty adhesive bands used immediately after the crime by the Ris di Parma to find as many prints in the cottage.

Delivered to consultants and experts the exhibits stored in Milan

The first stage of the preliminary phase of the evidentiary incident ordered by the Pavia Magistrate's Court, Daniela Garlaschelli, as part of the new investigation into the murder of Chiara Poggi ended with the handing over of the exhibits to consultants and experts. In the presence of the parties' consultants, the experts appointed by the Magistrate's Court collected the envelopes that, as Luciano Garofano and Marzio Capra explained as they left the Carabinieri barracks in Via Moscova, Milan,will be opened on 17 June, when the non-repeatable investigations will actually begin.

Among them trace 10, found on the inside door of the house entrance. The attribution both to Alberto Stasi, the victim's boyfriend who was definitively convicted for the murder, and to the new suspect Andrea Sempio has already been ruled out.

The footprint is not even from the company of people who frequented the small villa in Garlasco, including the victim's twin cousins Stefania and Paola Cappa. The hope is that biological material can be extracted from the para-sticker of trace 10 and the other ties, for possible comparison with DNA.

The box containing the 58 para-stickers, returned to Vigevano after analysis by the Ris di Parma, was never opened by the Carabinieri of the Milan investigation unit, headed by commanders Antonio Coppola and Fabio Rufino.

Accompanying it is a report attesting to its content.

In the afternoon

In the afternoon, the forensic experts will go to the Institute of Forensic Medicine of Pavia, where swabs taken from Chiara Poggi and various objects collected from the small villa in Via Pascoli, which will be the focus of the evidentiary investigation starting on 17 June, have been kept for almost 18 years.

First of all, the fragment of the bath mat with the bloody footprint left by the murderer. And then the rubbish that was never analysed, the packet of Estathè, the fruit, the cereal, the biscuits and the spoons.
