THE HOMICIDE of Meredith Kercher resulted in the arrest and conviction of three suspects.
After he was sent to prison for Meredith's murder, convict Rudy Guede was released from jail for good behavior, which caused sleuths to wonder about where Rudy is now.
Where is Rudy Guede now?
In October 2008, Rudy Guede was sentenced to 30 years behind bars.
At a later date, the killer's sentence was reduced to only 16 years.
He was convicted for the sexual assault and murder of Meredith Kercher.
Guede was originally set to be released from prison on January 4, 2022.
However, on November 24, 2021, he was released 45 days early for good behavior.
Guede's lawyer, Fabrizio Ballarini, told The U.S. Sun: "My client has paid his debt to justice. He is a free man.”
During Guede's interview with The U.S. Sun, the freed convict also said: "The first thing I want to say is to the Kercher family and how sorry I am for their loss.
"I have written a letter to them in which I explain to them how sorry I am but it’s too late to say sorry for not doing enough to save Meredith.

"The court accepted that I tried to save her by putting towels on her wounds."
He also disclosed: "The court convicted me of being an accessory to murder purely because my DNA was there but the (legal) documents say others were there and that I did not inflict the fatal wounds."
When he was asked about the wrongly convicted Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, he said: "I don’t want to say anything other than she should read the documents.
"As I told you, they say others were there and that I did not inflict the stab wounds. I know the truth and she knows the truth."
On August 25, 2022, viewers got the chance to revisit Guede's crimes, the wrongful convictions of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, and Meredith's murder in a documentary special.
That Thursday, Who Murdered Meredith Kercher? was released to Paramount+ and its subscribers.
What happened to Amanda Knox?
On December 24, 2009, Amanda Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were wrongfully convicted for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher.
Knox was sentenced to 26 years in jail, while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years.
On March 27, 2015, Italy's highest court exonerated Knox and Sollecito and released them from prison.
In 2020, Knox told Good Morning America how she felt she was carrying the burden of Guede's crime.
"I continue to this day to be shocked that he is the forgotten killer," Knox said.
"The one who was quietly tucked away, convicted of a lesser crime, and does not have to live with the burden of forever being associated with Meredith’s death.
"I do know that many, many people have suffered a great deal because of what he did.”
In September 2007, Meredith was murdered just two months after having moved to Perugia in central Italy to study at the city's university.
