It remains unclear how Knox, the product of an upper middle-class, if broken, household, and Sollecito, who, in effect, admitted to being spoiled in an interview from jail, linked up with a drug-addled loser like Guede. (If that sounds harsh, check out his YouTube video.)
As someone who had been recently, as the English say, "sleeping in the rough" he may have been rough trade to Knox and Sollecito.
Knox with her casual attitude towards love -- not to mention her malice toward Ms. Kercher; Sollcecito with his curiosity about experimental sex -- and his knife collection; Guede with his drug problem. The sum greater than its parts, they may have been too synergistic for their own good.
In a recent development, it appears Ms. Kercher may have accused Knox of stealing money from her. Perhaps the conversation then got around to Guede helping himself to a few post-coital lira. The victim may have threatened to call the authorities and he may have freaked. If Knox witnessed or knew about the murder, why keep it to herself?
On her MySpace profile Knox shared her feelings about how Italians adjourn for a meal and rest in the middle of the afternoon: "i think americans work to much and dont live. Having that time in the middle of the day reminds you that life really isnt all about going to work and making money. its about who you are [emphasis added] and what you choose to do and who you choose to spend your time with."
