Overview
- Guede, previously convicted in 2008 for Kercher’s murder, is due to stand trial on Tuesday over allegations he raped and assaulted a former girlfriend after his 2021 parole.
- The woman’s lawyer alleges a forced sex incident in September 2022, a pattern of coercive behavior, and injuries documented in photos, with a police report filed in August 2023.
- Following the complaint, authorities ordered Guede to wear an electronic ankle monitor and barred him from approaching the woman.
- Guede’s lawyer says he will plead innocent and claims to have supporting proof, and this case will proceed without the fast‑track procedure he used in his earlier conviction.
- Perugia prosecutors confirm receiving new information on the 2007 case from former prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, who reported a name of a person who allegedly left Italy days after the murder, and no decision has been made on opening a new probe.
