Overview

• Carabinieri seized a fireplace poker clamp, a masonry hammer head, an axe handle and an axe head that an Egyptian mason found in the Tromello canal during a 2018 cleanup
• The mason voluntarily came forward after learning of canal searches prompted by super-witness Gianni Bruscagin’s account of a thud heard the night of the 2007 killing
• Forensic teams will test the implements for DNA and examine their compatibility with Poggi’s wounds, though no definitive connection to the murder weapon has been established
• Andrea Sempio, a friend of the victim’s brother, remains under scrutiny as prosecutors probe possible complicity alongside Alberto Stasi’s 2015 conviction
• An incidenti probatorio hearing is set for early July to evaluate the new evidence and reinforce the chain of custody analysis
