Avetrana murder case: 15 years after Sarah Scazzi's death

Fifteen years after the disappearance and murder of 15-year-old Sarah Scazzi in Avetrana, the community and the family continue to grapple with the aftermath of the high-profile crime.

The investigation revealed a complex web of familial involvement. While Michele Misseri, the victim's uncle, was convicted of suppressing a corpse and tampering with evidence, the judicial truth established that the murder was committed by Sabrina Misseri and Cosima Serrano. Both women received life sentences following a definitive ruling in 2017. The motive was reportedly linked to jealousy regarding a male acquaintance.

Michele Misseri was released from prison in February 2024 after serving an eight-year sentence. He has since returned to a private life in Avetrana, working in the fields and attempting to live away from the media spotlight that once focused intensely on his residence.
