Italian Town Observes First Death Anniversary of Murdered British Student as Trial Reaches New Stage
Fresh flowers, along with two candles and a teddy bear key ring, were placed at the gate leading to the whitewashed cottage Kercher shared with American student Amanda Knox, one of three people accused of killing her in a sex game turned violent.
While Kercher's family commemorated the anniversary quietly at home in Coulsdon, Surrey, a special church service was held in Perugia.
"We pray for Meredith and for other women victims of crime," said Monsignor Elio Bromuri, the rector of Perugia University's church.
He expressed "great pity" for Meredith but also for those accused of killing her – Miss Knox, 21, her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 24, and Rudy Guede, 21, a drifter and immigrant from the Ivory Coast who was last week found guilty of murder and sentenced to 30 years in jail. "Even they, exposed by the media, have become victims," said Msgr Bromuri.
Kercher, who was studying at Leeds University, came to Perugia to learn Italian and to pursue her European Studies degree.
She had only been in the medieval city for two months when police found her semi-naked body in the house she shared with Knox, of Seattle, and two other students.
