Raffaele Sollecito, who has
been convicted with co-defendant Amanda Knox of murdering
Meredith Kercher in 2007, on Friday explained why he took his
current girlfriend to the scene of the crime while on a tour of
Perugia.
"I was just showing my girlfriend the places in Perugia
where I spent three years of life. That's how we ended up on Via
della Pergola," Sollecito told ANSA.
Kercher shared a flat with Knox on Via della Pergola, and
was raped and murdered in her bedroom there.
"That place has no particular meaning for me, because I did
not experience anything transcendental there," Sollecito
continued.
"The night of the murder, I was not there".
Sollecito went on to explain that before Kercher was slain,
student life had been good.
"What was alleged after that has nothing to do with me. It
is a version of events invented by others".
