The Italian mother of a murdered 18-year-old appeared in court wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with her daughter’s dismembered body after her killer appealed part of his conviction.
Pamela Mastropietro was murdered and dismembered by Nigerian drug dealer Innocent Oseghale in January 2018. He appealed part of the verdict, which originally found he had sexually assaulted the teenager before killing her.
Mastropietro’s mother, Alessandra Verni, attended the appeal court in Perugia yesterday wearing a T-shirt displaying the gruesome images of her daughter’s body.
At one point, a clash broke out in the courtroom, with Verni and Oseghale being dragged away from each other by the police. The court session will continue next month.

“Did you see what they did to her?” Verni said about her murdered daughter.
“The man who raped and tortured her should rot in prison.”
Her T-shirt showed her daughter’s broken head. The sequence of disturbing images is also designed so that the individual body parts form the structure of a body.
Oseghale (32) was found guilty in 2019 of the murder of 18-year-old Mastropietro and sentenced to prison. He is appealing part of his rape conviction.
Oseghale arrived in Italy as an asylum seeker in 2014 but left its refugee program in 2017, a year before he killed Mastropietro.
The judge asked Oseghale if he planned to attend the next hearing in February. After speaking with his lawyer, he told the court he would not do so.

Verni, who was in the courtroom at the time in a T-shirt, shouted loudly: “Now even an executioner is asked whether he wants to attend the trial or not.
“Let’s roll out a red carpet for that too,” she added.
The two then confronted each other, and as police escorted Oseghale out of the courtroom, he shouted, “Enough judicial oppression.”
Verni rushed at him and shouted, “Tell me… tell me what you want.”
Both were immediately removed from the courtroom by the police.
Oseghale’s life sentence will be reduced if the appeals court finds him not guilty of the rape.
Mastropietro was killed after leaving an addiction center in Macerata, in the Marche region, in early 2018.
Investigators understood she decided to leave the facility and walked to the local train station.

An autopsy revealed that Pamela Mastropietro died from multiple stab wounds to her abdomen. It was also established that her body was butchered while she was alive
After leaving the rehabilitation center, Mastropietro tried to find drugs in Macerata. Then she met Oseghale, a local drug dealer from Nigeria, then 29 years old.
A day later, a passer-by saw two abandoned suitcases lying in a ditch. Mastropietro’s mutilated and broken body was found in the trunk.
Drug dealer Oseghale was accused of selling Mastropietro drugs before arresting, raping and stabbing her. The police found Mastropietro’s bloody clothes at Oseghale’s house.
The Nigerian claimed in his statement that Mastropietro died of an overdose of heroin.
However, an autopsy revealed that Mastropietro died as a result of consecutive abdominal stab wounds. It was also established that her body was butchered while she was alive.
The Nigerian was charged with murder, assault, concealment and destruction of a corpse. He denied the allegations in court in February 2019.
He was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment with eighteen months in solitary confinement.
