Rudy Guede, the man convicted of
the brutal murder of British student Meredith Kercher, will be
allowed out of prison this weekend for 36 hours as a reward for
good behaviour.
The Ivorian national is serving a 16-year sentence for the
2007 killing of Kercher in Perugia. Last year American Amanda
Knox and her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were
acquitted for the murder.
Guede will spend the time he is allowed out of Viterbo
prison at a reception centre for detainees released on furlough
and with a working group of the Centre for Criminology Studies
created to support his claim of innocence.
"A reward furlough means finally conceiving a new space.
Seeing others aside from the people you always see. Reward
furlough means coming back into contact for a moment with the
spontaneity of the world," he said.
Guede's fingerprints and DNA were found all over the crime
scene and the victim, who suffocated in her own blood on her
bedroom floor after she was stabbed.
