Family claim £22m in Knox murder trial
27 Nov 2009Murdered student Meredith Kercher's legal team will today ask a court to award £22million damages.
The claim is part of the trial in Italy of murder suspects Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito.
Ms Kercher, 21, of Coulsdon, Surrey, was found with her throat cut in her flat in Perugia in November 2007.
The damages, if agreed, would be paid to her parents and three siblings, who are entitled to make a civil claim under Italian law. Knox and Sollecito deny murder.

What a mess! I wish I could say positively Amanda didn't do it, but I'm not that familiar with the case. I hope justice prevails. It sounds like she would be acquitted in a US court. Italian jury is 6 people, 2 judges? How are judges peers? But that's the law. Again, may justice prevail, an innocent life was brutally taken.
