Innocent Oseghale, the
29-year-old Nigerian accused of murdering Pamela Mastropietro in
Macerata in January, has admitted to chopping up the 18-year-old
Roman woman's body but not to her homicide, sources said on
Tuesday.
Mastropietro's dismembered body was found in two suitcases
near to Macerata.
Oseghale is accused of homicide and of the charges of trying
to hide a body and contempt for a human corpse.
During questioning in English with investigators at Marino
del Tronto jail, Oseghale said Mastropietro died of a drugs
overdose at his home and he cut up her body as part of an
attempt to get rid of it.
Oseghale also denied raping Mastropietro and cleared his
compatriot Desmond Lucky, saying he was alone with the woman
when she died.
