Meredith Kercher born in 1986 in the United Kingdom, died on 2 November 2007 in Perugia, Italy, was part of the Erasmus student exchange programme, and had been in Italy for three months after completing her degree course in Britain.
Kercher was found in her bed not fully clothed and with her throat cut on 2 November after spending three months in Italy. She had celebrated Halloween with friends on the programme the night before and had headed home. There was evidence on her body that she had had sex not long before her death, but the coroners didn't establish any evidence that she had been raped. Her two mobile phones, found close to her home in Perugia, carry her fingerprints and an as yet unidentified print. The six-and-a-half hour post-mortem also showed that Meredith Kercher had been killed with a small penknife or a piece of glass. Police examined photographs on her Facebook page and say the internet will help provide clues. The case received international attention.
Her dad left a condolence note with flowers stating simply that he loved her and missed her.
Three people have been held under arrest in connection with the case, Amanda Knox, a female American student, her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, and Patrick Lumumba, a Congolese man who runs a shop in the town.
According to police, Knox broke down under interrogation and said that she heard screaming then blocked her ears, and felt confused. She stated that another man, Patrick Lumumba, was in the bedroom with Merideth at the time of the screams. A knife, wich is compatible with murder weapon, has been reportedly found in Sollecito's home.
