ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> STORY: At a news conference in Perugia, the family of murder victim Meredith Kercher say their sister and daughter "has been forgotten."<br/> Stephanie Kercher said her sister had been "hugely forgotten" in coverage of the appeal launched by American student Amanda Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, adding: "It is very difficult to keep her memory alive in all of this."<br/> Answering reporters' questions in a filled conference room, Meredith's brother Lyle said it was difficult to "think of forgiveness," and although the murder took place four years ago, his sister's murder is still "very raw."<br/> Meredith's mother Arline refused to say whether she believed Knox killed her daughter, adding: "You have to go by the evidence because there is nothing else. What I want, what they want doesn't come into it."<br/> Meredith, or "Mez" to her friends, was on a year-long Erasmus exchange program in the hilltop university town of Perugia when her half-naked body was found in a pool of blood in the apartment she shared with American Amanda Knox.
