Bossetti lawyers says DNA 'inconclusive'

After court turns down appeal for Bossetti's release

(ANSA) - Milan, September 22 - Lawyers for accused killer Massimo Bossetti claimed Monday that a Carabinieri police forensic lab report proves the DNA found on the murder victim is inconclusive.
    A court in the northern city of Bergamo last week rejected a defence motion the release from pre-trial custody of Bossetti, the chief suspect in the 2010 murder of 13-year-old Yara Gambirasio.
    The court ruled that evidence against Bossetti was convincing and he should remain in jail because he could kill again.
    Four different forensic lab tests have confirmed the DNA found on Gambirasio's leggings and underwear belonged to Bossetti, a 44-year-old construction worker.
    The suspect, who claims he has no idea how his DNA got on Gambirasio's underwear, was taken into custody June 16 and charged with her murder the following day.
    Investigators have used telephone records, surveillance video, and testimony from colleagues and residents of Brembate Sopra, where Bossetti lived at the time of the murder, to demolish his alibi that he was at work on the day of the crime.
