Meredith Kercher's killer Rudy Guede to stand new trial over ‘sexual assault' of ex-girlfriend in Italy
Guede has been placed under a 'special surveillance' regime since last year ON THE STAND Meredith Kercher's killer Rudy Guede to stand new trial over 'sexual assault' of ex-girlfriend in Italy Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE man convicted of murdering British university student Meredith Kercher has been charged with sexual assault against his former girlfriend. Rudy Guede, 38, is once again set to stand trial in November after being accused of mistreatment, personal injury and sexual violence.

He was released early from prison in 2021 for good behaviour. During his time in prison, Guede started dating a 25-year-old woman, who later ended their relationship in 2023 and pressed charges against him, according to local Italian media. Guede has been placed under a "special surveillance" regime since last year, when police began their investigation into the alleged sexual assault, Sky News reports. According to a Rome court ruling, Guede must inform the police anytime he leaves Viterbo, his city of residence. He has been fitted with an electronic ankle tag and was banned from having any contact with the woman behind the sexual assault allegations. Carlo Mezzetti, his lawyer, told CNN that Guede was innocent and feared he would not get a fair trial given his previous conviction. Some 100,000 photos, thousands of chats and audio messages between Guede and the unnamed victim are among the evidence set to be presented in the trial, according to the media outlet. Ms Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, Surrey, was found half-naked with her throat slit in Perugia, Italy, in September 2007. The exchange student from the University of Leeds had been stabbed 47 times. Watch weeping Amanda Knox break down as her slander conviction is UPHELD in final twist of Meredith Kercher murder saga Ms Kercher shared her flat with her American roommate, Amanda Knox. Ms Knox was convicted alongside her then-boyfriend, Italian Raffaele Sollecito - but they both were fully acquitted by Italy's Supreme Court in 2015 following a sensational legal battle. Though Ms Knox remains convicted of slander for accusing her former nightclub boss Patrick Lumumba of Ms Kercher's murder in 2007. At the time of Guede's release, Ms Knox said that Guede has been "able to cause harm to more young women" since his release. She wrote in a post on X: "Guede was never held fully accountable for murdering Meredith, as he was only convicted of rape and of 'participating in the murder.' "Essentially he was charged with being an accomplice for a crime he committed alone. He was sentenced to 30 years. 6 Knox accompanied by security guards arrives in court for the preliminary hearings into the murder of British student Meredith Kercher Credit: EPA 6 Knox and then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito looking on outside the rented house where the 21-year-old Brit Meredith was found dead Credit: Associated Press "On appeal, that was reduced to 16. He was released on 'good behavior' after serving 13 years..." Knox has since gone on to become an author and journalist and has spoken openly about her treatment during the ordeal. In 2020, Knox told Good Morning America how she felt she was carrying the burden of Guede's crime. "I continue to this day to be shocked that he is the forgotten killer," Knox said. "The one who was quietly tucked away, convicted of a lesser crime, and does not have to live with the burden of forever being associated with Meredith's death. "I do know that many, many people have suffered a great deal because of what he did.'
