Amanda Knox was today pictured arriving in Italy for the first time since she was convicted and then acquitted of murdering British student Meredith Kercher.
The 31-year-old took to Instagram yesterday to post a snap with fiancé Christopher Robinson with the caption: “Here we go... Wish us, ‘Buon viaggio! (a good trip)”.
Ms Knox, who lives in Seattle, is due to speak at a conference for wrongly-convicted crime suspects this weekend. She has spoken of her unease at returning to Italy for the event in Modena.
The American spent nearly four years in an Italian prison after she was convicted of murdering her roommate Ms Kercher in November 2007.
Ms Kercher, 21, an exchange student from Surrey, was found semi-naked with multiple stab wounds on the bedroom floor of the apartment she shared with Ms Knox in Perugia.
Ms Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were arrested and later convicted of murder and sexual assault in 2009.
The couple maintained their innocence. After a series of court hearings that exposed Italy’s justice system to ridicule, Ms Knox was reconvicted before the murder conviction was overturned by the supreme court in 2015.
