Ok I will make a start: I will try to distinguish clearly between facts and not-facts: but if I make errors in this please jump in because there is a lot of confusion.
So far as I can figure we know this:
31st October
The victim spent Halloween with friends, first at the Merlin pub and then at a club called the Domus. They were up most of the night. That seems to be a fact, and is attested by a number of her friends
Guede said that he met the victim at a party that evening and made an date with her for 8:30 the following evening
When it was established this was not true Guede said that he met her at the Domus and made a date with her for 8:30 the following evening
None of the friends she was with remember seeing her with Guede at the Domus. None of them remember her making a date. She did not mention it the following afternoon nor did she leave in time to keep it.
Nov 1st
On Nov 1st Kercher and Knox and Sollecito were in the cottage together in the afternoon. She left between 4 and 5 and spent the evening with some of the same friends she had been with on Halloween, at the home of one of them.
The next bit is very confusing because it relates to what Knox and Sollecito say they were doing on the evening of Nov 1st. I do not think any of it can be taken as fact
Sollecito first said they were at a party with friends
Knox says that she and Sollecito left the cottage at about 5 pm and went straight to his flat where they spent the whole evening together. She says she expected to work that evening but she got a text from Lumumba saying the bar would not be open and she did not need to work. She says she told Socellito this. She says she did not reply to that text. She says that they did not do very much but that they took a shower together and had sex. Maybe she checked her e-mail. She says they ate at about 11 pm. She later says that they ate about 9: 30 pm. She says that pasta was cooked and that the water was spilled and left till the following morning. She says that there was a leak under the sink and left till the following morning. She says that they went to bed and woke about 10 am the following day
Sollecito says that they left the cottage about 6 pm and went for a walk before going back to his flat and spending the whole evening together
Sollecito says that they were out (not sure if they had gone to the flat and then gone out again or whether this was part of the walk they took) and that he returned to his flat alone at about 9 pm. He says Knox told him she was going to the bar Le Chic to meet friends. He says he went home and rolled a spliff and made some dinner. He says he spoke to his father on the phone at about 11pm. He says he was on his computer from 11pm till 1 am. He says Knox returned about 1 am. He says he cooked fish not pasta. He says that there was a leak from the sink which soaked the floor and it was still very wet the following day. He says they went to bed and did not wake until 10 am or so
From telephone records we know that Knox and Sollecito switched their phones off at about 8:45. Records also show that neither of them normally did this, so the idea they did so because they were having a romantic evening does not seem to be supported
We also know that they both switched their phones back on at around 6 am the following morning.
We know that Sollecito's father did not phone at 11 pm. He did phone at about 8:40 and the phone went straight to ansaphone.
The computer shows no activity after 9:10 that evening. Sollecito says he was downloading Amelie, but the computer records show that film was watched at 6:30 pm
The computer was used at 5.32 the following morning.
A witness says that Knox was at shop early on the morning of the 2nd. I cannot remember what time that was said to be: nor is there a till receipt in support of this.
Kercher and her friend, Sophie Purton, left their friend's house and walked part of the way together before parting when their ways diverged. The victim got home a little after 9pm
Around 9.30 she phoned her mother.
Various witnesses report seeing or hearing things around 10:15 that night; two claim to have heard a very loud and disturbing scream; one claims to have heard more than one set of feet running away from the cottage in different directions; one claims to have encountered a black man leaving the cottage at speed. There are other witness testimonies about this and we may need to fill in more details but I am not certain enough of the times to put them in here as yet.
OK can we agree on this so far and would any one like to add, modify or subtract anything so far ?
