Raffaele Sollecito from WikiPedia:
Rudy Hermann Guédé, then aged 20, originally from Côte d'Ivoire but with dual Italian citizenship, was arrested on 20 November 2007, suspected of involvement in the Kercher killing.
Guédé came to Perugia at the age of five with his father, Pacome Roger Guédé, who worked as a labourer in the 1990s.
Guédé was often taken home by his teachers when school ended, until his father returned home from work. At the age of 16, Guédé's father left Italy, and he was informally adopted by the family of a wealthy local businessman, Paolo Caporali. Caporali had been disappointed by Guédé's behaviour, describing him as a "tremendous liar", skipping school and being work-shy. Guédé played basketball for the local team, which Caporali sponsored and for the Perugia youth team in the 2004-2005 season.
