Meredith Kercher's Killer Accused of Domestic Abuse

Rudy Guede, released from prison in 2021, now faces charges of personal injury, ill-treatment, and violence against his ex-girlfriend.

Rudy Guede, the man convicted for the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher, has been accused of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend.
Guede was released from prison in November 2021 after serving 13 years of a 16-year sentence for Kercher's murder.
A judge in Viterbo, Italy, has issued a restraining order against Guede and fitted him with an electronic tag. He is to stay at least 500 meters away from his former girlfriend.
Guede is currently being investigated on charges of personal injury, ill-treatment, and violence.
Despite the allegations, Guede maintains his innocence in the murder of Kercher, a case that also involved American undergraduate Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, who were initially convicted but ultimately acquitted.
