Garlasco, ricerca dell'arma del delitto lungo il canale di Tromello

A search is underway in Tromello for the possible murder weapon in Garlasco, near the home of the grandmother of the Cappa twins, cousins ​​of 26-year-old Chiara Poggi, killed on August 13, 2007. The search, which began on Wednesday, will continue indefinitely and is concentrated in a canal near Via Fratelli d'Italia, in the area of ​​the train station. Carabinieri and firefighters, with the support of the Civil Protection Department, are dredging the canal that runs between the houses. This operation is necessary to begin the search for the weapon that killed young Chiara Poggi 18 years ago, likely a fireplace poker that, according to a witness, was thrown into the canal. This is where the Carabinieri and firefighters are concentrating their efforts. First, barriers were erected to isolate the affected section of the canal, which is just over a kilometer long. Then the pumps were activated, which, as can be seen in the images, are draining the canal to clean out all the dirt that has accumulated there over the years. This is essential to the continuation of the investigation, the timing of which is still being determined. On Wednesday, Via Montenero, the road leading to the cemetery and the sports field, was closed. This was to allow the investigation, which initially began in the courtyard of a private home that borders the canal. What is certain is that for the first time in the last 18 years, Tromello has been affected by the investigation into the Garlasco murder. And such a deployment of law enforcement has never been seen before. At the moment, the only suspect in the new investigation into the Garlasco murder is Andrea Sempio, a friend of Marco Poggi, Chiara's brother. But the investigation continues. It is difficult to predict what will happen in the next few hours. Garlasco, Search for Murder Weapon Along the Tromello Canal - YouTube Video Transcript: A search is underway in Tromello for the possible Garlasco murder weapon, near the home of the grandmother of the K twins, cousins ​​of 26-year-old Chiara Poggi, who was killed on August 13, 2007. The search began on Wednesday and will continue indefinitely. It is currently concentrated on a ditch near Via Fratelli d'Italia, in the area of ​​the train station. Carabinieri firefighters, with the support of the Civil Protection Department, are dredging the canal that runs between the houses, a necessary operation to begin the search for the weapon that allegedly killed young Chiara Poggi 18 years ago. It was likely a fireplace poker that, according to a witness, was thrown into the canal. This is where the Carabinieri firefighters are concentrating their efforts. First, barriers were installed to isolate the affected section of the canal, which is just over 1 km long. Then the hydrophores were activated, which, as you can see from the images, are draining the canal to clean all the dirt that has accumulated there over the years. This is essential to continue the investigation, the timing of which is still being determined. We're just retrieving water to assess whether there was anything in the canal. It's a secondary irrigation canal that passes through the houses, and essentially it runs under the town and into the Terdoppio stream, where it continues its course. It's a muddy canal, after all. So they'll have to see what they find underneath. We'll see in the next few days. And now let's do this work anyway, as quickly as possible to give the personnel in charge a chance to find what they're looking for, and we'll see. It will take a bit longer, so we'll see. Also closed on Wednesday was Via Montenero, the road leading to the cemetery and the sports field. All this to allow the investigation to begin, initially in the courtyard of a private home bordering the canal. What is certain is that for the first time in the last 18 years, Tromello has been involved in the investigation into the Garlasco murder, and such a deployment of law enforcement has never been seen before. No, except for an argument with a man here, but it's a neighborly matter, you know. No, no. Currently, the list of suspects in the new investigation into the Garlasco murder includes only Andrea Sempio, a friend of Marco Poggi, Chiara's brother. But the investigation continues. It's difficult to predict what will happen in the next few hours.
