The Taranto appeals court on
Monday upheld life sentences for Cosima Serrano and her daughter
Sabrina Misseri for the 2010 murder of 15-year-old Sarah Scazzi,
whose body was thrown into a well after she was strangled.
The ruling came after three days' deliberation.
Serrano and her daughter were first convicted of murder in
April 2013, while husband Michele Misseri - who told police he
was guilty - was instead sentenced to eight years in prison for
hiding the body of the teen who was kidnapped and killed on
August 26, 2010.
After the teen disappeared, the Misseris made numerous
televised appeals for her discovery, Michele crying while
announcing he had 'found' her cell phone.
A few days later, as investigators cornered him, Misseri
admitted he had killed Sarah in his garage and committed
post-mortem rape, only to retract the confession a few days
later and accuse his daughter.
