Chara Poggi was killed by Andrea Sempio "after a rejected sexual approach" .

This, according to the prosecutors accusing Sempio, is the motive for the Garlasco crime. According to the reconstruction by the Pavia prosecutors and the Carabinieri of the Milan Investigative Unit, the victim was attacked in multiple stages and struck at least twelve times in the head . The fatal blows were apparently delivered along the stairs leading to the cellar.

The reconstruction of the crime is summarised in the new charge contained in the summons to appear for Sempio , who will be questioned on 6 May in Pavia.

The charge against the 38-year-old, a friend of the victim's brother, Marco Poggi, has changed from initial charges of complicity in murder to voluntary manslaughter. Alberto Stasi, who is currently serving his final sentence for the crime, has been completely excluded from the crime scene .

According to investigators, a rejected sexual advances triggered Sempio's fury. "After an initial struggle," according to the investigators' reconstruction, "he repeatedly struck the victim, knocking her to the floor." Then he dragged her toward the cellar, and when Chiara "tried to fight back by getting on all fours, he struck her again with at least three or four blows, knocking her unconscious." The killer then allegedly pushed the body down the stairs, and when Chiara was unconscious, he struck her again, causing her death.

Sempio is accused of two aggravating circumstances: that of cruelty due to the brutality of the action and the number of wounds inflicted, and that of having committed the act for abject motives, "attributable to hatred following the rejection of his sexual approach" .
