Meredith Susanna Cara Kercher was born on February 1985 in Southwark, London, England, and lived in Coulsdon, South London. She attended the University of Leeds. She had been part of the ERASMUS student exchange programme, and had gone to Italy to complete her degree course.
Kercher was murdered on the evening of 1 November 2007, with pathologists putting her time of death between 20:30 and 23:00. A judge assigned to the case read the pathology report at a bail hearing for the suspects and ruled that Kercher's carotid artery had not been ruptured in the attack, and that she likely died a "relatively slow and agonizing death."
The following morning, the Postal Police came to investigate the discovery of two mobile phones in a nearby garden, one which was registered to Ms Kercher. When they breached the door to Kercher's room, which had been locked from the inside, they reportedly found Kercher lying beneath a duvet in her room "soaked in blood." Police have said Kercher's throat was slit with a knife, and have located the weapon. Police initially believed that the killer or killers escaped through a broken window in Kercher's room, since the door was locked when they arrived, but now suspect the break-in was staged. The following morning, Amanda Knox was spotted by two men at a laundromat on Via Fabretti washing clothes and a pair of shoes with a "North African" man.
Three of the suspects in the case are currently being held in Perugia: Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito (an Italian student and Knox's former boyfriend), and Rudy Hermann Guede, who was arrested in Germany on November 20 and extradited to Italy on 6 December. All three suspects remain in Capanne Prison, a 20-minute drive from Perugia. Meredith Kercher Biography from (http://www.basicfamouspeople.com/index.php?aid=8474)
