Abstract: We prove the uniqueness of the group measure space Cartan subalgebra in crossed products A times Gamma covering certain cases where Gamma is an amalgamated free product over a non-amenable subgroup. In combination with Kida's work we deduce that if Sigma < SL(3,�) denotes the subgroup of matrices g with g_31 = g_32 = 0, then any free ergodic probability measure preserving action of Gamma = SL(3,�) *_Sigma SL(3,�) is stably W*-superrigid. In the second part we settle a technical issue about the unitary conjugacy of group measure space Cartan subalgebras.
