(ANSA) - Macerata, February 9 - Two more Nigerian men are
being questioned but have not been arrested in the death of
18-year-old Roman drug addict Pamela Mastropietro, in which two
Nigerian pushers are already under investigation for complicity
in homicide near Macerata, sources said Friday.
The results of the autopsy, in particular the way the body
was dismembered, led police to the pair, as well as the two
under investigation.
One of the pair was found in Macerata and the other stopped
in Milan while trying to reach Switzerland.
On Thursday sources in Macerata said after Mastropietro's
autopsy that a Nigerian pusher accused of complicity in her
murder and dismemberment gave her an "extremely modest" dose of
heroin.
Desmond Lucky is nonetheless suspected of giving the woman,
who had been in a drug rehab centre near Macerata and had not
been using for four months, a fatal dose.
Lucky is accused of complicity with another Nigerian pusher,
Innocent Oseghale, in homicide, disposing of and disrespecting a
body in the case of Mastropietro, whose remains were found in
two suitcases at Pollenza outside Macerata.
It is has not been established if the young woman died of an
overdose or was murdered, allegedly by Oseghale, in whose home
bloodstained knives were found.
Prosecutors said Thursday the initial findings of an autopsy
on Mastropietro had produced "no significant evidence" of how
she had died.
But Italian media reported Friday the autopsy had shown she
was hit on the head before being murdered.
The autopsy found that blood and urine were missing from the
remains, which had been sliced up in an "apparently scientific"
way.
Further lab tests will be made next week, prosecutors said.
