One of the prime suspects in the murder of British student Meredith Kercher claims that she whispered the name of her killer as she lay dying.
Rudy Guede, the Ivory Coast basketball player who was arrested on a German train almost three weeks after fleeing the murder scene, claims he was in the bathroom when the killing took place.
The Daily Mail reports that Guede claims to have scuffled with the killer, before trying to help Kercher, who was dying from a throat wound.
Guede then says Kercher whispered the name of her killer in her final moments. He then panicked and fled the country.
The 20-year-old’s legal team told the Mail that the stunning revelation would be “at the heart of the defence case”.
Guede says he could identify the killer if he saw him again.
The suspect, who described himself as a “vampire” in a crazed internet video, has admitted to having sex with Kercher but claimed it was consensual.
Kercher’s American housemate, Amanda Knox, and Knox’s Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, are also being held in connection with the killing.
Congolese bar owner Diya Patrick Lumumba, 38, was released from prison after Guede’s arrest.
Lumumba told the Mail Knox was bitterly jealousy of her housemate.
He also said Knox had framed him for the murder after he sacked her from his bar for flirting with customers.
“She was angry I was firing her and wanted revenge,” Lumumba said.
“By the end, she hated me.
“But I don’t even think she’s evil. To be evil you have to have a soul.”
“Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie. But those lies have stained me forever.”
