The Nigerian suspect, who was denied asylum last year but has remained in Italy, has refused to talk to police. Matteo Salvini, head of the far-right League, wrote on Facebook, accusing the centre-left government of responsibility for Mastropietro's death for allowing migrants to stay in the country. "The left has blood on its hands," he wrote.Magistrates say witnesses saw the Nigerian suspect carrying the suitcases that were later found to contain the teenager's body.
