Jury inspects Meredith murder scene

The Italian court trying an American student and her former boyfriend for the murder of a British woman has inspected the apartment house in Perugia where the victim was stabbed to death in 2007.

American Amanda Knox, 21, and her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, both deny the murder of Leeds University student Meredith Kercher.

The body of 21-year-old south Londoner Miss Kercher, stabbed in the neck, was found in a pool of blood in the bedroom of the flat she rented in November 2007.

The house inspection by the court was closed to journalists.
