Amanda Knox

ROME - Prosecutors say they have requested murder indictments against an American student and two other suspects in the slaying of a British woman in Italy.

Prosecutors in Perugia requested Friday that Amanda Knox, 21, of Seattle; her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito; and Ivory Coast citizen Rudy Hermann Guede be tried on murder charges in connection with the death of Meredith Kercher.

Kercher, a 21-year-old student from Leeds University in England, was found dead in November in a pool of blood in the house she shared with Knox in the university town of Perugia, in central Italy.
