Italian prosecutors launched an appeal on Tuesday against the acquittal of Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend for the brutal murder of British student Meredith Kercher in the university town of Perugia.
Prosecutors in Perugia filed the 111-page appeal to Italy's highest criminal court, the Court of Cassation in Rome, more than four months after Miss Knox had her guilty verdict and 26-year prison sentence overturned on appeal.
Raffaele Sollecito, her ex-boyfriend, also had his guilty verdict and 25-year
jail sentence quashed.
Miss Kercher, 21, of Coulsdon, Surrey, was found stabbed to death in the house
she shared with Miss Knox and two other women in the Umbrian hill town in
Nov 2007. Her body bore more than 40 injuries and lay in a pool of blood on
the floor. More
