The legal proceedings regarding the murder of 33-year-old Sharon Verzeni in Terno d’Isola have progressed through delays and a final verdict. Initially, the sentencing for Moussa Sangare was postponed to February 2026 following a request from his defense counsel to review case files. During this period, Sangare retracted his initial confession and declared his innocence, while the victim’s family maintained that the killing was premeditated. Prosecutor Emanuele Marchisio requested life imprisonment for Sangare, describing the killing as a senseless act committed out of boredom and a desire to experience a strong emotion. Psychiatric experts testified that Sangare acted with a “terrifying lucidity,” noting that he had considered other potential victims before choosing Verzeni. Experts rejected defense claims that a personality disorder compromised his ability to understand his actions, asserting he was fully capable of intent and control. Ultimately, the Court of Assize of Bergamo sentenced Sangare, 32, to life imprisonment. The court cited aggravating factors including premeditation and futile motives. Evidence used in the conviction included surveillance footage of Sangare fleeing the scene and attempts by the defendant to conceal evidence by modifying his bicycle and cutting his hair.
