A British exchange student was murdered in a Perugian apartment, sparking a high‑profile investigation that hinged on disputed forensic evidence, questionable DNA testing, and conflicting witness statements. Initial arrests of an American student, her Italian boyfriend, and an Ivorian roommate led to convictions, later overturned amid claims of contamination, media bias, and procedural errors. The case reshaped forensic standards, highlighted the power of sensational reporting, and underscored the need for vigilance against bias in criminal justice.
