Key witness says Knox is a killer

AMERICAN Amanda Knox was confirmed as the killer of British student Meredith Kercher yesterday by the very witness she hoped would clear her.

Rudy Guede, the first person to be convicted of Ms Kercher’s killing in Perugia, Italy, had been called to give evidence in an appeal by Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito against their convictions.

But he told the hearing he thinks the couple were the killers, confirming his previous accusations.
