**Prosecutors have asked for life imprisonment for the pair accused of murdering British student Meredith Kercher in Italy.**Miss Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, Surrey, was found dead in her bedroom two years ago. Her throat had been cut.
Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini asked a jury in Perugia to convict Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito on charges of murder and sexual violence.
Miss Knox, a US student, and her former Italian boyfriend deny the charges.
The prosecutor argued that Miss Knox, Mr Sollecito and a third man, Rudy Guede, who was convicted in a separate trial killed Kercher during a drug-induced sex game.
Guede, 22, was jailed for 30 years for murdering the British student.
Guede, who is originally from Ivory Coast, always denied any wrongdoing and has launched an appeal against his conviction.
