It was a brutal murder, and the trial of the decade. On 1 November
2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was slaughtered
in cold blood in the apartment in Perugia, Italy, that she shared
with three other girls. Two bright young people, Amanda Knox and
her Italian ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, stood accused of the
killing in a trial that lasted through 2009. They were found guilty
and sentenced to twenty-six and twenty-five years respectively on 4
December. A second man, Ivory Coast-born Rudy Guede, 22, had
already been found guilty of the sexual assault and murder of
Meredith in a separate trial in 2008 and sentenced to thirty years,
but the prosecution always stated that he didn't act alone. Kercher
was a model student whilst American Knox acquired a reputation that
fuelled specualtion about her character. Her bizarre behaviour just
after Meredith's body was found, her false accusation of an
innocent man, her weak alibi and her DNA on the murder weapon - a
kitchen knife found to be scubbed with bleach - went against her.
TV producer Paul Russell and critically acclaimed crime writer
Graham Johnson have teamed up with leading Italian forensics expert
General Luciano Garofano to reveal the full truth behind this
sensational murder and its trial. They unravel all the details and
study all the personalities in this case that has stunned the
world. Complex, and some say controversial, DNA evidence is
explained in simple language and, bit by bit, a story emerges of
brutality and jealousy in a university town where all was not what
it seemed. Their findings make for gripping, sensational reading.
