Flatmate: Amanda Knox is in custody
Last week, the leaked judge's report into the case described the chilling scene which confronted police officers when they first arrived at the flat which Meredith shared with her American friend Amanda Knox, and two other Italian girls.
The police who arrived at the flat in Perugia were confronted with a 'chilling' scene when they broke down the 21-year-old student's locked bedroom door, according to the judge's report.
They decided to break down the door to Meredith's bedroom after her other flatmate Romonelli Filomena said that it was strange that it was locked and that Meredith was not answering either of her mobile phones.
According to the report the room was a shocking sight.
The report says: "With the door opened there was a chilling scene in so far as the room was found in disorder with blood stains everywhere, on the ground and on the walls, and also under the duvet of the bed a foot could be seen."
