Murdered student Meredith Kercher 'forgotten'


Meredith Kercher has been "completely forgotten" in the four years since she was murdered on a study year abroad in Italy, her grieving sister has said.

Stephanie Kercher, 21, told Italian TV show Porta a Porta all the focus was on Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, who were convicted of the 2007 killing.

Ms Kercher also said she was scared of forgetting her "kind, caring" sister.

The Kercher family are in Italy ahead of an appeal verdict against Knox's and Sollecito's convictions.

The former lovers were convicted in 2009 of murdering Miss Kercher in her bedroom after a bungled sex game.

Miss Kercher, from Coulsdon, south London, had been sharing a flat with Knox in the central Italian city of Perugia during an exchange year abroad from Leeds University.

In a rare interview, Stephanie Kercher told the programme: "In these four years, Meredith has been completely forgotten.

"But we need to find justice for her, we need to find the truth for her.

"There's not much of Meredith in the media. There aren't photos of her in the media. The focus has completely moved away from Meredith to Amanda and Raffaele.

"And Meredith was so lovely - an intelligent, kind, caring person."

She went on to say: "I'm scared of forgetting what she looked like.
