Meredith Kercher Case: Former Prosecutor Cites New Lead and Possible Suspect Who Fled Abroad

Prosecutors have not confirmed any reopening following Giuliano Mignini's claim of a new lead.

Overview

  • Giuliano Mignini told La Stampa that a source he deems reliable named a person never previously considered in the case.
  • He said the person may have been involved and left Italy a few days after the 2007 killing.
  • Italian media report a witness may have come forward, but no identity or corroborating evidence has been disclosed publicly.
  • Perugia authorities have not announced a formal resumption of the investigation, and the claim remains unverified.
  • Rudy Guede was convicted in a separate proceeding and released early in 2021, while Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were definitively acquitted in 2015.
