British student Meredith Kercher’s killing in Italy in 2007 is now “unsolved” following the acquittal of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, the appeals judge who freed them said yesterday.
The murder “will remain an unsolved truth,” judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann told reporters in the university town of Perugia where the gruesome killing and sexual assault and the ensuing high-profile investigation took place.
“No-one can say what really happened. The only person is Rudy Guede,” he said, referring to a local drifter who is now the only person convicted for a murder that investigators said must have been carried out by more than one person.
