A preliminary investigations
judge on Tuesday confirmed the detention of Innocent Oseghale, a
Nigerian national suspected of murdering and dismembering
18-year-old Pamela Mastropietro near Macerata last week.
The detention was confirmed for the crimes of hiding and
showing contempt for a human body, but not for homicide.
The judge ruled that it is not proven that Oseghale is the
killer but he remains under investigation for homicide.
Oseghale has denied the accusations, saying he ran away from
the scene after the woman overdosed.
Another Nigerian, a suspected pusher like Oseghale, is being
probed for allegedly selling heroin to Mastropietro, whose
remains were found in two suitcases.
