Italian police ‘had it in’ for Knox

THE defence for US student Amanda Knox says female police officers investigating the murder of British student Meredith Kercher “had it in” for Knox because of a sex toy found in the home both women shared.

In closing arguments, Knox’s lawyer Luciano Ghirga described a “clash between women from the Perugia flying squad” and his client.

“They had it in for her just because she had condoms and a vibrator in her beauty case,” said Ghirga.
