Last year, we posted the story of the horrific murder of 18-year-old Pamela Mastropietro in Macerata, Italy. A 29-year-old Nigerian man, Innocent Oseghale, was charged with killing her and dismembering her body. Now the case is coming to trial and the uncle of the girl and lawyer for the family is accusing the local church of providing rental expenses for the suspect even after he had been caught selling drugs and ordered deported form Italy.
If these accusations are true, it is an indictment of a church community that actively assists in keeping illegal migrants in the country. Two weeks after the suspect himself read a pastoral letter from Pope Francis and the church community gave him gifts of blankets and groceries, the suspect allegedly carried out the gruesome murder in the very apartment the church had been paying rent for three months.

The uncle of Pamela accuses the parish priest: "The church paid for Oseghale's house"
According to the uncle of Pamela, and lawyer for the Mastropietro family, for three months, a parish of Macerata paid the rent of an apartment for Innocent Oseghale, where the 18-year-old (native of Rome) was killed and dismembered

It is still wrapped in mystery, the death of Pamela Mastropietro. The 13th of February, the trial against Innocent Oseghale, the principle suspect in the death of the young girl,will open in court.
But today there are still many obscure points in the matter.
Marco Valerio Verni, the uncle of Pamela and lawyer for the Mastropietro family, lists them in an interview given to Affaritaliani. Beginning from that support offered by a parish of Villa Potenza, a small municipality of Macerata, to Oseghale, at the time already convicted for drugs (offense). According to the reconstruction by the lawyer, the Nigerian, already excluded from the refugee protection program after being caught dealing and awaiting expulsion from our country, had been identified by the parish priest as a person in need of help.Because of this, for three consecutive months, funds were collected for Oseghale and his companion, Michela Pettinari, 450 euros, which served to pay the rent of the apartment where they lived.
On 14 January a year ago, to celebrate the day of the migrant, Oseghale actually went up to the pulpit to read the pastoral letter written by Pope Francis, and the (church) community donated a basket with blankets and groceries to him. Only two weeks later, in that same apartment paid with the money of the faithful, he is believed to have consummated one of the most atrocious crimes of the last (recent) years. "This perhaps explains, the really indifferent behavior of the bishop of Macerata and the silence of the church in that horrible matter," said the lawyer of the young girl, remembering how the bishop of the Marche (state in Italy) citizen didn't even get involved to bless the stone memorial placed at the scene where the dismembered body of the 19-year-old was discovered.
The uncle of Pamela has moreover denounced the "strong pressures" in the investigation. "I had recently requested access to the apartment of the horrors with my advisers: I was refused,"charged the lawyer of the young girl, interviewed by Affaritaliani. Moreover, it is not clear, continued Verni, "how Pamela could have taken opiates in the two months preceding her death" despite being kept in the community. The doubts regarding also the traces of DNA of an unknown person found in both trolleys. Circumstances that lead a person to think that Oseghale didn't do all this alone. But there is also another shadow in this matter.That which concerns the fate of a diary that Pamela was writing to tell her difficult story. A manuscript which, complains the uncle of the victim, has never been found. And which, perhaps, hides inside elements useful to discover the truth of that tragic January 30.
