Meredith Kercher was a British student who studied in Italy. She was born on December 28, 1986, in South London and attended the University of Leeds. In 2007, she moved to Perugia, Italy, as part of her studies in European languages. Tragically, Meredith was murdered on November 1, 2007, in her apartment. Her death garnered significant media attention and led to a high-profile trial involving her roommate, Amanda Knox, and Knox's then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. The case raised questions about the Italian legal system and the impact of media coverage on criminal trials.
