"The only regret is that we couldn't do something to save Sharon. If we had been closer to the murder site, maybe we could have saved her."
This is the story of the key witnesses, two boys (Italians of Moroccan origin) aged 25 and 23 who gave decisive help to the Carabinieri in identifying the famous 'man on a bicycle', namely Moussa Sangare, the 31-year-old who confessed to the murder of Sharon Verzeni.
The story of that night, reported by Repubblica: "I'm training for the Italian kickboxing title, he plays first-division soccer. That evening, as usual, we went out very late to train.
It was about midnight, we were in Chignolo near the pharmacy and in front of the cemetery where we stopped to do some push-ups. At that point two North Africans on bicycles passed by, then a third.
He made an impression on us because he was a little strange. He had a bandana on his head and a hat, a backpack and glasses. He stared at us for a long time and then made a face. We had never seen him before.”
We told them about that boy when we were called to the police station. At one point, they even complimented us because we remembered everything. Now we feel proud to have been instrumental in identifying the killer. Our only regret is not having been able to do something for Sharon.
Not having been closer to Via Castegnate. In that case, perhaps we could have saved her. Maybe the killer saw an easy prey, like those two kids he wanted to attack. When he crossed paths with us, instead, he just looked at us badly and went on. He stared at us for a long time and then made a face. We had never seen him before”.
“We told them about that boy when we were called to the police station. We were surprised, we never thought that he could be the murderer – they added – Even though you could see that he was someone who was not well. We still felt a great relief, because we had not heard anything more about the investigation.
Now we feel proud for having been useful in identifying the killer. The only regret we have left is that we couldn't have done something for Sharon. Not having been closer to via Castegnate. In that case, perhaps we could have saved her. Maybe the killer saw an easy prey, like those two kids he wanted to attack. When he crossed paths with us, instead, he just looked at us badly and went on”.
“We – they conclude – received citizenship as kids, at 15. We want to make people think that if the killer is of foreign origin, we are too. Perhaps without our testimony he would be free. We think we have done our duty”.
