A court in Italy is to decide whether to release two people being held in connection with the murder of a British exchange student earlier this month.
Raffaele Sollecito, 23, and Amanda Knox, 20, were arrested on 6 November and remanded in custody three days later.
Congolese bar owner Diya 'Patrick' Lumumba, 38, who was also arrested on 6 November, was released from prison last week but remains a suspect in the case.
Today's hearings were held in private, but a decision is expected later today.
Another man, Rudy Hermann Guede, 20, was arrested on 20 November in Germany, where he is awaiting extradition.
Raffaele Sollecito and US student Amanda Knox, who was then his girlfriend, were detained after the body of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher from Coulsdon, in Surrey, was found at a flat in Perugia on 1 November.
Ms Knox was sharing the apartment with Ms Kercher and two other students, and occasionally worked in Mr Lumumba's bar.
