Kercher killer: I wrote Meredith’s dying words on the wall in her blood

The man convicted of killing Meredith Kercher has said he wrote on the wall with her blood as he tried to understand what she was telling him with her dying breath. Rudy Guede, who is serving a 16-year sentence for the British exchange student’s murder, also claimed his innocence in an interview on Italian TV. The 30-year-old said he went into the bedroom where she had been killed after hearing a scream. Guede, from the Ivory Coast, said Miss Kercher tried “to tell me something” which he tried “to write on the wall with blood”. But he added he "ran away because I was afraid they would not believe me".

I see Meredith on the ground and an abundance of blood. I go to the bathroom and take a towel and try to staunch the wound in the neck. I take another and then another… it was heartbreaking that moment, you try to do the best

Miss Kercher, 21, was found stabbed to death in the flat she shared with American Amanda Knox in Perugia. Police always maintained Guede did not act alone and Miss Knox and her then boyfriend, Rafaelle Sollecito, were later arrested. They were twice convicted and then cleared of her murder. In his interview for TV show Cursed Stories, Guede said the bedroom had been staged to look as if a burglar had come in and a rock had been used to break the window. He added: “When I was found in the house of the crime I fled because I was afraid. No one would believe me. I thought: Negro found, guilty found. The subsequent investigations, conducted ​​badly, have shown that I was right.”

I cannot get another day in prison for killing Meredith… Justice for Meredith has not been done.
