MEREDITH KERCHER MURDER TRIAL DRAWS TO A CLOSE
The trial of those accused of killing British student Meredith Kercher is drawing to a close, with both sides making last minutes pleas.
Ms Kercher, a 21-year-old student from Coulsdon, Surrey, was found semi-naked with her throat slit in a house in Perugia, Italy, in November 2007.
Accused of the killing are her housemate Amanda Knox and Knox's former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, along with a third man who has already been convicted of the murder, Rudy Guede.
The prosecution in the case allege that Knox stabbed Ms Kercher, while Sollecito held her down after a sex game went wrong.
Speaking today (3 December) the lawyer for Ms Kercher's family said that the three went so far with torturing the student that they had to kill her.
"Meredith was killed because she knew all three of her attackers," said Francesco Maresca.
"The murder happened step by step, (it started with) sexual violence and then murder."
Both Knox and Sollecito deny the charges against them.
Also speaking today Sollecito, 25, said he was not a violent person and insisted he was 'not a dog on a lead' who was at Knox's beck and call.
"Why would I want to commit something so horrible as murder?" he questioned.
"I pray every day that the real culprit will confess," he added. "This trial is now finishing and I am asking you to save my life".
Yesterday Knox's lawyer Luciano Ghirga broke down in tears as he described how Knox's character has been wilfully misrepresented.
He said that female police officers involved in the case "had it in" for Knox "just because she had condoms and a vibrator in her beauty case".
He also pleaded with the jury to "give [Knox] her life back".

They also came from all over the world, including the US, India, Europe, the United Kingdom
Dame Mary Peters herself officially opened proceedings at the week-long Games as part of a colourful opening ceremony that featured Irish music and dance.

Amanda Knox
Meredith Kercher murder trial, Perugia, Italy - 12 Jun 2009
Amanda Knox, the American student accused of Meredith Kercher's murder, has taken to the stand for the first time today (12 June). She told a court in Perugia that she was put "under pressure" by police and was bullied into signing a "confession", which she later retracted. British student Meredith Kercher, 21, was found stabbed to death in November 2007 in the flat in Italy that she shared with Knox and others. The prosecution alleges that she was killed as part of a violent sex attack by Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. A third suspect, Ivory Coast national Rudy Guede, 22, has already been found guilty of Meredith's murder at a separate trial and was jailed for 30 years. Speaking in her defence today Knox said that all of the statements she gave to police in the days following Meredith's death were "said in confusion and under pressure".
