On the 02nd of November 2007, Meredith Kercher was found dead in a cottage in Italy. Kercher’s naked body was located partially covered with a bloody blanket in the house that she and Amanda Knox resided (Chan, 2016). Kercher died from suspected knife injuries to her face and throat (Timeline, 2016). Knox explains that she was at Raffaele Sollecito (who was Knox’s boyfriend at the time) house, during the murder (Chan, 2016). Knox returned to the cottage in the morning in order to shower and change her clothes.

Knox then went to check on her roommate (Meredith Kercher) but noticed her room door was locked. Amanda Knox then returned to Sollecito’s house to inform him of what she seen and they returned to the house together and proceeded to call the police (injustice, 2016). Police investigators arrived shortly after (including head investigator), Giuliano Mignini (Locke, 2012). Upon arrival, the door to Kercher’s room was forced open and Kercher’s body was found but no murder weapon. Mignini initially theorised that Knox, Sollecito and her boss, (Diya Lumumba) were involved in Kercher’s death indicating it was “A sex game gone wrong” (Johnson, 2016). Knox and Sollecito were quickly called to attend the police station. Interviews became a long, aggressive interrogation consisting of several hours each day being yelled at, physically abused, refused water and threatened with jail time (Injustice, 2016). The result of this was Amanda Knox committing a false confession in which she stated her boss (Diya Lumumba) killed Meredith
