Foxy Knoxy” was framed.
That’s the tune an Italian mobster Luciano Aviello,a jailbird is singing, claiming his Mafia organized crime figure brother brutally murdered a female British college student, not American Amanda Knox.
Luciano Aviello, who is currently serving a 17-year sentence for his mafia ties, told Knox’s lawyers his brother Antonio slaughtered Meredith Kercher and asked him to hide the bloody knife and Kercher’s keys, the Daily Mail reports.
Aviello said his brother showed up to his house wearing a bloodstained jacket the night of the murder saying he broke into a house and killed a woman. He then asked Aviello to hide the knife.
“I had everything under a little wall behind my house and covered it with soil and stones. I am happy to stand up in court and confirm all this and wrote to the court several times to tell them but was never questioned,” he said.
Aviello claims he wrote to the court three times to give his testimony, but was ignored.
Last year, an Italian court convicted Knox and her then-boyfriend her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. She got 26 years, he got 25 years. A third man, Rudy Guede, was also convicted.
Aviello swears all three are innocent. However, Antonio is nowhere to be found.
In 2007, Kercher’s half-naked body was found, her throat slit in the bedroom of the house she shared with Knox in Perugia.
Aviello, who is from Naples, said he and his brother were living in Perugia the year Kercher was killed. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/06/09/2010-06-09_amanda_knox_is_innocent_jailed_italian_mobster_says_his_brother_killed_meredith_.html
