The supreme Court of Cassation
on Tuesday upheld life sentences for Cosima Serrano and her
daughter Sabrina Misseri for the 2010 murder of 15-year-old
Sarah Scazzi, the convicted duo's niece and cousin respectively.
The court also upheld an eight-year term for Serrano's
husband Michele Misseri for hiding the body of the teen, who was
killed August 26, 2010 in the southern town of Avetrana.
After the Scazzi 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
said 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.
Scazzi's body was thrown into a well after she was strangled.
