Amanda Knox is crowdfunding her wedding and asking donors for £8,000 donations

Amanda Knox has asked her friends, family and fans to donate up to $10,000 (£8,032) to pay for her sci-fi wedding.

The 32-year-old American gained notoriety when she was initially convicted of the murder of 21-year-old student Meredith Kercher in Italy, spending four years in jail before later being acquitted following an appeal.

She made her first return to the country earlier this year and says that the trip has eaten into her wedding fund and is desperate to bankroll "the best party ever".

Knox and her fiancé Christopher Robinson set up the site for their nuptials titled 'The Knox Robinson Coalescence'.

It explains their bizarre plans to host the space-themed event and asks for donations from guests ranging from $25 up to $10,000.

The homepage reads: "No other pre-singularity union produced as much cerebral-empathic heat, or blazed as brightly through the early 21st century datasphere, as the joining of Amanda Marie Knox and Christopher Gerald Robinson."

It goes on to explain that in lieu of gifts contributions should be made to the 'grand celebration that would stitch them back together'.

'Volunteers and well-wishers' are asked to donate to specific costs like the venue, set and decor, light and sound, a live band, special effects, an open bar, food, props, costumes and their honeymoon.

They add that anyone who donates will received a limited edition of Amanda and Chris's book of love poems, The Cardio Tesseract.

Knox, who now works as a journalist in Seattle, where she was born, had only been in Perugia a few months before Kercher was killed in November 2007 after having her throat cut.

The American, who has now grown her hair longer to when she was labelled ‘Foxy Knoxy’, spent four years in prison before she was freed on appeal and then had her conviction quashed in 2015.
