Murdered woman's mum sports shocking snap at appeals trial

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 25 - The mother of an 18-year-old Roman woman murdered in Marche in January 2018 on Wednesday wore a T-shirt with a shocking photo of her body as she attended the appeals trial of a Nigerian drug pusher convicted of killing and dismembering her daughter.
    "Have you seen what they did to her," Alessandra Verni said of her daughter Pamel Mastropietro, a drug addict murdered at Pollenza outside Macerata on January 30 five years ago.
    "That man, who raped and tortured her, should rot in jail," she said of Innocent Oseghale, the 32-year-old pusher whose appeal on rape charges is now being heard in Perugia.
    The pair nearly came to blows as Oseghale was led away shouting "enough judicial oppression", with Verni going up to him and screaming "tell me...tell me what you want!" Last February the supreme Court of Cassation on upheld a life term for Oseghale.
    It quashed an appeals court's conviction for rape and sent that issue back to the second appeals court in Perugia.
    If that court finds him innocent of rape the life term may be shortened.
    Mastropietro's murder prompted a rightwing militant, Luca Traini, to shoot and wound six African migrants in a drive-by 'revenge' shooting in Macerata days later.
    He was sentenced to 12 years in jail for that in March 2021.
