Oseghale admits killing Pamela-informant

(ANSA) - Ascoli Piceno, September 18 - Innocent Oseghale, a 29-year-old Nigerian accused of murdering Pamela Mastropietro in Macerata in January, admitted to a cellmate who is a police informant that he killed her before chopping her up, judicial sources said Tuesday.
    Oseghale denied the claim when the informant's testimony was read out to him.
    He again admitted to chopping up the 18-year-old Roman woman's body but not to her homicide, sources said.
    Mastropietro's dismembered body was found in two suitcases outside Pollenza near Macerata.
    Oseghale is accused of rape, homicide and trying to hide a body and contempt for a human corpse.
    He said they had consensual sex. During questioning in English with investigators at Marino del Tronto jail, Oseghale said Mastropietro died of a drugs overdose at his home and he cut up her body as part of an attempt to get rid of it.
    Oseghale also denied raping Mastropietro and cleared his compatriot Desmond Lucky, saying he was alone with the woman when she died.
    A few days after Mastropietro's body was found, a far-right activist, Luca Traini, shot and injured six Nigerians in Macerata.
    A former local candidate of the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League party, Traini is being held for multiple attempted murder aggravated by racial hatred.
