Ris Report in Garlasco Case Finds No Forensic Sign of Second Attacker

Prosecutors now await Professor Cristina Cattaneo’s assessment to guide next steps on the theory of joint participation.

Overview

  • Tenente colonnello Andrea Berti filed a 300-page Bloodstain Pattern Analysis based on a 3D reconstruction that concludes there is no evidence of a second active assailant.
  • The consultancy remains in the Procura di Pavia’s investigative file and is reportedly not shared with defense or civil parties, a handling described in coverage as unusual.
  • Investigators note that BPA detects active participants only, so the finding does not exclude the possibility that another person was present without taking part in the attack.
  • A separate appointment tasks Prof.ssa Cristina Cattaneo with determining the likely weapon, the number of wounds, and whether one or more perpetrators acted.
  • The incident probatorio continues with eight digitized partial fingerprints for analysis by court expert Domenico Marchegiani, while disputed fingernail DNA profiles remain unresolved and a September 26 hearing will address the path of further testing.
