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.”

Prosecutors at the appeals murder trial of Amanda Knox battled it out Saturday with independent forensic experts who say some of the key DNA evidence used to convict the American student of killing her British roommate was unreliable and possibly contaminated. The experts, who were appointed by the court to review the evidence and the procedures used to obtain it, maintain that the original investigation was marked by some glaring errors. They have mentioned more than 50, including the wearing of dirty gloves in collecting evidence. (AP Photo/StefanoMedici)
