ABSTRACT
By sparking controversies and debates, there are events that epitomize translocal diversity and heterogeneity of public positioning in media and social media. The murder case of Meredith Kercher is such an event. Meredith Kercher, a British citizen, was brutally murdered in 2007 in Perugia, Italy, while staying there as an Erasmus exchange student. The murder investigations led to a series of trials involving Raffaele Sollecito (an Italian), Amanda Knox, (a US citizen) and Rudy Guede (a naturalized Italian of Ivorian origin).
