A Milan court on Monday
confirmed the decision to keep the chief suspect in the 2010
murder of 13-year-old Yara Gambirasio in pretrial custody.
The decision on Massimo Bossetti came from the appeals court
that uses external sources to determine whether pre-trial
custody is warranted or not.
It came nearly a month after a court in the northern city of
Bergamo rejected the original defence motion to release
Bossetti.
In that original decision, the court ruled evidence against
the 44-year-old construction worker 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.
