Meredith Kercher

[Sleuthing_Chic]

I recently saw the pictures of the apartment where this girl was murdered. There was a pool of blood all over the place, it was truly disturbing. She wrote in her diary how her roommates wanted to have sex with her but she did not want to. 

This hillside Italian fortress city from the Middle Ages -- Perugia—is best known for its chocolates, not its murders.

But on Nov.1, 2007, that may have changed.

When police forced open a bedroom door in this student rental cottage, they found the naked body of a young English woman covered by a bed quilt. She'd been stabbed in the throat, her blood thoroughly soaking the cotton shirt bunched up around her neck.

All the forensic evidence pointed to attempted rape and murder.

A broken window suggested an intruder.

The awful crime here on the via Sante Antonio would quickly have been forgotten as yet another head-shaking statistic -- sad but not all that uncommon -- except for the authorities’ gruesome theory of the murder....

This case is sooo sad. This girl was tortured to death! And sexually assaulted. I really pray justice can be served on this case and the responsible parties rot in jail!

My gosh, how many more people are involved with this case?

dna traces that do not match any of the three official suspects have been found on the bra of Meredith Kercher, the British student murdered in Perugia last November, suggesting that more people may have taken part in the attack than thought.

Forensic scientists working on the case also said they had revised the time of Kercher's death, previously put at between 10 p.m. and midnight on Nov. 1, to between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Nov. 2.

Traces of the dna of Raffaele Sollecito and Rudy Hermann Guede, two of the suspects currently being held in prison, have allegedly already been found on Kercher's torn and bloodstained bra.

However, police said that two new traces found did not come from either man; nor did they match the dna of Amanda Knox, Kercher's American roommate, who is also in prison pending charges.

Police said they were trying to establish the identity of the two new people whose dna had been found, and were keeping “an open mind” about how the traces got there. Kercher was found semi-naked, with her throat cut, on the morning of Nov. 2, in her bedroom at the whitewashed cottage she shared with Knox and two female Italian students.

Prosecutors have said the post-mortem examination showed signs of sexual violence, suggesting she had been killed in a drug-fueled sex game. However, Il Messaggero, a Rome daily newspaper, reported that the pathologist who carried out the exam believed the sexual violence “may have been simulated since no bruising consistent with a rape” was found on Kercher's body. Investigators said Kercher's attackers had also simulated a break-in by smashing a window...

I find it extremely disturbing that a guy is willing to go this far just to have sex with a girl.  It's sad how someone can put so much trust into someone and then just end up dead.

Men have been known to do stupider things than that, but given the history of most sadist and vice mind filled men on the whole what is surprising.
