The parents of Amanda Knox, the American convicted of murdering British student Meredith Kercher in Italy, have been ordered to stand trial for claiming that police abused their daughter.

Curt Knox and Edda Mellas were charged today in Perugia for libel. Lawyer Luciano Ghirga confirmed the indictment and said trial was set for July 4. He said the couple did not attend the hearing.
