Amanda Knox is set to visit the UK to promote her film about the tragic murder of British student Meredith Kercher.

Knox, now 38, was at the center of a high-profile legal saga in Italy, where she was twice convicted and then acquitted of the murder of Kercher. The incident took place in Perugia in November 2007 while both were studying abroad.

The American is extending an invitation to the British public to meet her during “two special nights” featuring screenings of her new film, “Mouth of the Wolf.” These events will be held just a few miles from Coulsdon, south London, where the late Kercher, 21, had lived.

This visit follows Knox’s controversial defense of Lucy Letby, a convicted child murderer, in a recent podcast series. This stance, revealed in February, has provoked considerable backlash.

Scheduled for April 21 and 22, Knox expressed her excitement on social media about her upcoming trip to London, mentioning, “I’ve never been to the UK, but I’m finally going. It feels great knowing that the two documentary screenings I’m hosting are already sold out!”

She also announced plans to release additional seats for the screenings, urging interested attendees to join the waitlist, and added, “Thank you, London!”

The documentary features some original songs, sung by Knox herself, for which she produced music videos.

Her husband Christopher Robinson directed the film, which tells of her return to the scene of Meredith’s murder in their apartment.

Knox has made a lucrative career off the back of her wrongful conviction, writing books, creating podcasts, shooting films and even performing stand-up comedy.

She’s become an advocate for the wrongfully accused, as seen with her ‘recognition’ of Lucy Letby’s case. 

She posted: ‘These intimate screenings are a chance to experience the film in a city that has long embraced bold, thought-provoking storytelling. If you’re in London, or know someone who is, we’d love to see you there.’

Knox and her husband will take questions after the film and told those interested to join the waitlist for extra tickets soon to be added for the free screening at Greenwich Picturehouse.

Critics have said that Knox has been ‘cashing in’ on Meredith’s murder since her convictions and acquittals.  

The Kercher family lawyer, Francesco Maresca, has previously accused Knox of repeatedly profiting from her murder.

He said: ‘On the one hand, Amanda says the trial created so much suffering for her but then she tries to have it all – the fame and the money.

‘She continues to make money from it. This time she has no qualms about doing it in Perugia, one of the least appropriate places to return to 17 years since Meredith’s death.

‘Knox is only interested in the profits she continues to make from an affair on which she should be silent.’

However, some see Knox as a wronged woman who was jailed for four years for a crime she did not commit following her acquittal by Italy’s Supreme Court of Cassation in 2015.

Since the court ruling, Knox has hidden from the public eye but managed to publish a memoir, host a true crime podcast called Hard Knox, executive-produced a Hulu true crime series about her own case and recently took to making jokes about her murder conviction to paying audiences in California’s stand-up circuit.

Ms Kercher had been a popular student at the University of Leeds when she went on an exchange to Perugia. She moved into a shared flat with two Italian women and Knox, then 20.

Meredith Kercher’s family have repeatedly expressed discomfort at Knox’s career and brand being so closely related to the murder of their daughter

While attending the University for Foreigners, the two women got along, visiting a EuroChocolate festival together and socialising often.

But Ms Kercher was murdered in her bedroom on the night of November 1, 2007.

She had been sexually assaulted and stabbed in the neck. Her body was found on the floor of her room covered in a blood-soaked duvet.

While police scoured the violent murder scene, Knox was seen kissing her boyfriend of one week, Raffaele Sollecito, outside the flat. The photo shocked the public and Knox later said she had been in shock.

Knox and her partner were questioned by police within days. She said later she had been interrogated without a lawyer or a qualified interpreter and claimed she had been physically struck by officers. Italian police denied this, however.

Knox blamed a boss at a local bar she worked at, Patrick Lumumba, during the interrogation. He had a solid alibi, increasing police suspicions.

After an investigation and trial, a then-20year-old Knox was convicted for the crime in 2009.

She was sentenced to 26 years in prison for faking a break-in, defamation, sexual violence, and murder.

Rudy Hermann Guede, from the Ivory Coast, was eventually convicted of murder after his DNA was found at the crime scene.

Guede was freed in 2021, after serving most of his 16-year sentence.

 Knox returned to the US in 2011 after being freed and has established herself as a global campaigner for the wrongly convicted.

However, Italy’s Supreme Court reneged on the acquittal in 2013 and ordered a retrial. She was convicted of murder a second time in a Florentine appeals court in 2014.

Knox initially refused to leave America, but the second conviction was overturned again in 2015, pointing to ‘sensational investigative failures’ and ‘culpable omissions’ by Italian authorities.

It was ordered that no further trial be held.
