Studying abroad can be fun and liberating. That is why a lot of students dream to study abroad and to explore another country's culture. Perhaps, that was one of the reasons why Meredith Kercher studied in Italy. Little did she know that it will be her road to death. In 2007, her body was found lifeless inside the flat she shared with Amanda Knox, one of her alleged killers.
Until now, the world is still puzzled on what exactly happened on that unfortunate night. There were so many stories and alibis which make it harder to understand. Allow us to give you some of the most infamous alibis and stories behind the killing of Kercher.
One of Knox alibis' was that at the night of the murder, she was with her ex- boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. According to source, they were hanging out at the latter's place and having intimate moments. However, this was being challenged because a CCTV footage allegedly captured Knox near the flat whom she shared with Kercher. The date and time stamp was the night of the Kercher's brutal end.
What made headlines as well is Knox' story about her experience inside the prison. In her book, she reportedly shared that she was abused by the prison guard. The accusation against the guard was of course, denied. No one knows the story except them.
Another story about this case is the theory of the prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini. He said that the killing was a form of Satanic and Masonic rites, a report says. According to him, that was also the reason there were no traces of evidence against the ex-lovers. This story made the case a circus and others questioned Mignini's capability to handle the case.
Everyone's eyes are on the final trial for Amanda Knox. We hope that it will be factual and unbiased. The Kerchers deserve peace more than anyone else. We hope the Italian judicial system will be able to help them have that.
