If this had happened in the United States, it would be bigger than the OJ Trial. In the eyes of the global community, particularly in Europe, it's bigger. Here's the run down:
Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old British international college student studying in Italy was raped and murdered Nov. 1.
Suspects from multiple countries have been arrested in the case.
On Nov. 6, Amanda Knox, 20, the victim's American roommate who is a student of University of Washington was arrested along with her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 24. Knox implicated Patrick Lumumba Diya, 38, a Colognese musician and bar owner in an interview following her arrest.
Seems that there is a lot of finger-pointing going around, and that the young undergrads were highly interested in sexual experimentation. There have even been suggestions that Kercher was killed because she refused to engage in an orgy, and that upon refusal, she was raped while Knox held her down with a grip so strong that it left her fingerprints in Kercher's arms.
Today, in an Interpol operation, German police arrested Rudy Herman Guede, 21, whose fingerprints had been found at the bloody scene. Police found Guede trying to board a train between the German cities of Mainz and Koblenz without a ticket. He was tracked down in Milan when he momentarily turned on his cell phone, and then traced through a communication he sent on Facebook.
Following Guede's arrest, Diya was released from jail.
