Intruders break into slain Briton's house in Italy
Prosecutors say intruders have broken into the house where a British student was slain last year in central Italy.
Prosecutors say intruders have broken into the house where a British student was slain last year in central Italy.
Prosecutors in Perugia say the break-in was discovered early Wednesday during an inspection.
They said the intruders broke a window, ransacked the house and left four kitchen knives and some candles in various rooms, but not in the bedroom where the body of Meredith Kercher was found in 2007.
Kercher's roommate, University of Washington student Amanda Knox, and Knox's former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, are on trial for the murder.
Another man, Ivory Coast national Rudy Hermann Guede, was sentenced to 30 years in prison last year in a fast-track trial he had requested. All three deny wrongdoing.
