The parents of murdered British student Meredith Kercher both passed away within months of one another in 2020, their family has shared. The 21-year-old was an undergraduate student at Leeds University and on a student exchange year when she was found dead in an apartment she shared with her peer, Amanda Knox in Perugia, Italy, on November 2, 2007.
Ms Knox, now 35, and her ex-lover at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, 38, were both wrongfully convicted for the murder of the student and were sentenced to jail before having their convictions overturned twice, the Mirror reports. The ex lovers were spotted together recently as they reunited before the 15th anniversary of Meredith's death.
African migrant Rudy Guede was later arrested for the murder of Meredith in October 2008. The Kercher family have not publicly spoken out in great detail about their daughter's devastating murder, but in a recent statement her siblings shared that heartbroken parents, John and Arline, both passed away two years ago.
