'Satanic' murder of Leeds student
A Leeds University student was murdered in a Satanic ritual, a court has heard.
It was alleged that Meredith Kercher, 21, was forcibly held down by two men as American student Amanda Knox slit her throat in the Italian town of Perugia.
Knox's Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 24, held Miss Kercher down as Rudy Hermann Guede tried to sexually assault her, the town's court was told.
Earlier Knox, 21, had proclaimed her innocence.
