An Ivorian wanted in connection with the killing of a British college student in central Italy was arrested Tuesday in Germany, Italian officials said.
Rudy Hermann Guede, 21, was arrested on an international warrant in the western German city of Mainz while traveling by bus to southern Germany, an investigator in Perugia told The Associated Press. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media.
Guede is the fourth suspect named by police in connection with the killing of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher, found stabbed to death Nov. 2 in her Perugia apartment.
Her American roommate, University of Washington student Amanda Marie Knox; Knox's Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito; and a Congolese-born pub owner, Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, also are in police custody in connection with Kercher's death.
Police identified Guede as a suspect Monday and said he was believed to have left Perugia the day Kercher's body was found.
Italian news reports said a bloody fingerprint on Kercher's pillow and on toilet paper led investigators to Guede.
All four have denied wrongdoing. |
