The Murder Of Meredith Kercher By Amanda Knox And Raffaele Sollecito: In Pictures
FORMER lovers Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito are found guilty of the murder of Leeds University student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy. Knox, 22, and Sollecito, 25, killed 21-year-old Miss Kercher in what began as an extreme sex game and ended with Sollecito holding her down while Knox cut her throat with a six-inch kitchen knife. They were aided small-time drug dealer Rudy Guede, 22, who was jailed for murder and sexual violence last October for 30 years.
The lawyer for Meredith’s family says: “They got the justice they were expecting. We got what we were hoping for.”
Knox’s aunt Janet Huff said: “We’ve got two innocent kids being put away for a crime they didn’t commit.”
