Prosecutors on Wednesday
requested the accused murderer of schoolgirl Yara Gambirasio
spend the rest of his life in prison, in isolation.
Massimo Bossetti is on trial for the killing of the
13-year-old, who went missing in November 2010 and whose body
was found in an isolated field the following February.
The construction worker and father of three was arrested in
2014 after extensive DNA testing of the local population tracked
him down as the biological son of a local bus driver, Giuseppe
Guerinoni, who died in 1999.
This in turn identified Bossetti as the donor of DNA found
on the teen's body.
Forensic experts also found traces of the fabric from seats
in Bossetti's van on the leggings worn by Yara the day she
disappeared.
Prosecutors argued the murder was aggravated by torture and
cruelty because the victim was struck three times in the head
and stabbed multiple times before being dumped in the field,
where she died from a combination of the injuries and exposure.
