Knox and Sollecito found guilty of Meredith Kercher murder

An Italian court has reinstated the murder convictions of Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito for the death of Meredith Kercher in 2007.

The verdict overturns the pair's successful 2011 appeal, which freed them after four years in jail.

Knox - who is currently in the US - has been sentenced to 28 years and six months in prison, while her Italian ex-boyfriend Sollecito has received a 25 year sentence.
