Kercher died from suffocation, jury told

A forensic expert has told an Italian court that British student Meredith Kercher died from suffocation caused by her murderers, showing a clear intent to kill, as well as from the stab wounds inflicted to her neck.

As the expert took the stand, the family of victim Meredith Kercher arrived in Perugia to testify at the trial of American student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito who are charged with murder and sexual violence.
