Amanda Knox Latest News: Knox Parties on Anniversary of Kercher's Death, Attacked by Father
Amanda Knox has been accused by the father of Meredith Kercher of going out to party on Halloween, the anniversary of his daughter’s death.
Halloween night is a time of partying for many young adults, and Knox did not miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of her new-found freedom and first Halloween party for years. She was photographed by TMZ walking down a street and wearing a cat-burglar costume, which alone has raised eyebrows, considering Knox’s tearful tale of innocence in her trial of burglary and murder of British student Kercher in Perugia, Italy.
News that she was out celebrating on Halloween, which marks the eve of the four year anniversary when Kercher was found with her throat slit in her apartment, did not go down well with Kercher’s father, John, who told the Daily Mirror:
“I think it’s very insensitive of Amanda Knox, especially considering it is the fourth anniversary of Meredith’s death. The anniversary is obviously a very difficult time for our family and images like this don’t help.”
John Kercher has not given up on investigating further into the case, even though Rudy Guede, a convicted drug dealer, was found guilty of Meredith Kercher’s death, and is now serving 16 years in prison. The Kercher family still believes he did not act alone, and the Italian Supreme court is set to appeal against the release of Knox and her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.
Kercher has also responded to the numerous stories that reveal Knox’s plans to cash in on her four-year prison stay and trial saga.
Knox is believed to be considering a book deal and appearances on the major U.S. talk shows, but Kercher has said that he does not believe his daughter’s tragic death deserves to be exploited:
“I find it distasteful that Knox stands to make millions from what happened to Meredith. I don’t think anyone should make money out of it – not us, not them.”
