In the first week of October, Fraini was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the shooting of six African immigrants in Macerata. During his sentencing, he said, “I am sorry for the injuries I caused. While in prison, I have understood that the colour of ones’ skin has nothing to do with anything. I wanted justice for Pamela.”

It has since been discovered that nobody died in the violent attacks, but Trani has faced justice for his offences. Oseghale has however denied killing Pamela, claiming she died for drug-related causes.
