Knox wants Kerchers to take her to Meredith's grave

In an exclusive interview Amanda Knox told Daybreak she hoped Meredith Kercher's family could "eventually take into consideration even the possibility of my innocence".

She said: "I want them to understand that Meredith really was my friend, she was very kind to me and I had nothing to do with her murder.

"I am truly innocent and I truly believe that the only way that any of us are going to be able to heal from any of this is if we come together and acknowledge the pain that we have all gone through."

The 26-year-old American said she was trying to rebuild her life after the "ultimate nightmare" of being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned over the killing of Leeds University student Ms Kercher in November 2007.

She said: "I have not been able to have the kind of contact with them and to be able to confront closure as far as grieving for Meredith's death, and that's what I have envisioned would be the greatest closure is for them to be willing to take me to her grave."
