Family claim £22m in Knox murder trial
12 April 2012
Murdered 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.
