Who Killed Meredith Kercher?
Is Amanda Knox really guilty of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher? Ruth Alexander travels to Italy to investigate.
Amanda Knox has had her conviction for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher reinstated by an Italian court. She was convicted, along with her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, in 2009. Doubts about forensic evidence meant the couple were freed after a successful appeal in 2011. But in January 2014 an appeal court reverted to the original guilty verdicts.
Reporter Ruth Alexander travels to Italy to investigate the strength of the case.
