Kercher’s father relives agony of identifying body

The father of murdered student Meredith Kercher has relived the agonising moment when he travelled to Italy to identify his daughter’s body.

John Kercher travelled to Perugia with his ex-wife Arline and their daughter Stephanie to see Meredith’s body in the morgue after her violent murder.

In a new book about the killing that robbed him of his young daughter, Kercher admits he was unable to look at his daughter for a final time for fear he would lose his “laughing and happy” final memory of her.
