Meredith Murder: Foxy Knoxy did it says Guede

croatiantimes.com

One of the men jailed for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher has denied reports that he cleared flatmate Amanda Knox of the killing in a dramatic prison cell confession.

Former cellmate Mario Alessi told lawyers that Rudy Guede - one of the three convicted of Meredith's murder - had told him that neither Knox nor her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito had even seen the student on the night she died.

The interview - conducted as part of Sollecito's appeal procedure - emerged in the Italian media at the weekend.

But in an extraordinary two-page letter to local media, Guede, 22, described murderer Alessi's revelations as the "ravings of a mental patient."

"I watched on TV the raving of this filthy man named Alessi, who is only the monstrous killer of a little angel.

"I've never told him anything about my story. Neither he nor anyone else. I told everything during my trial and if I did have something else to say, I would say it to my lawyers," he wrote.

"Alessi's words were the ravings of a mental patient. I've always told the truth during the trial," he added.

Guede was sentenced to 16 years in jail for his part in the killing of Meredith at her apartment in Perugia, Italy, after she tried to resist being forced into a sex game.

"I still believe in Italian justice. I hope the judges will realise the truth sooner or later. I wasn't there, that was a terrible murder of a fantastic woman by Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito," added Guede.
