German police arrested on Tuesday a man wanted in connection with the murder of a British female student in central Italian city of Perugia, German media reported on Tuesday.
The 20 year-old suspect, Rudy Hermann Guede, was an Italian citizen originally from the Ivory Coast. He was caught traveling without a ticket on a suburban train, a police spokeswoman in western German city of Mainz said.
The spokeswoman said the identification was still being double-checked, but at first glance he appeared to be the suspect.
Guede was believed to have fled from Perugia where Meredith Kercher was found murdered in early November.
Three other suspects were jailed in Italy, including Kercher's American roommate.
Guede was named as fourth suspect in the killing when investigators reportedly identified as his a bloody fingerprint on a pillow in the bedroom where the student's body was found.
