Post-mortem carried out on British student murdered in Italy

An Italian coroner conducted a post-mortem examination tonight on the body of a British university student found dead with a knife wound in her neck in her bedroom last week, and said the exam yielded “interesting” details.

The parents of Meredith Kercher apparently decided not to have their own consultant present during the autopsy on their daughter’s body, Perugia medical examiner Luca Lalli told reporters.
