Amanda Knox says she wants to
return to Italy and Perugia, where she was convicted and later
acquitted of murdering fellow student Meredith Kercher, to
"close the circle".
Six years after leaving jail and three years after being
acquitted the Seattle native revealed her plans to People
magazine.
"I aim to go back to Perugia; I'm scared but I want to return
to be just a person in a place, to have a memory that isn't
linked to the trial, and so that could be my last memory of that
place," she said.
The 29-year-old American was accused of murdering British
exchange student Kercher together with then boyfriend Raffaele
Sollecito in Perugia on November 1, 2007.
The pair were arrested five days later and convicted by a
court of first instance, but this conviction was subsequently
overturned.
The appeal sentence was then thrown out by the Court of
Cassation, Italy's supreme court, which ordered a new trial on
appeal leading to their re-conviction in 2014.
Knox and Sollecito were eventually acquitted definitively by
the supreme court the following year.
