Bossetti says didn't murder Yara (2)

(ANSA) - Bergamo, July 1 - Massimo Bossetti said Friday that he might be uneducated but that does not make him a killer as he made his final appeal in the trial for the murder of schoolgirl Yara Gambirasio. "I might be stupid, a cretin, extremely ignorant, but I'm not a murderer," the construction worker told the court. "What I'm accused of is shameful". Yara, 13, went missing in November 2010 and her body was found in an isolated field the following February.
    Bossetti's defence team disputes the forensic evidence the case against him is based on.
    The 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.
