Knox's confession implicated both Lumumba and Sollecito and resulted in both men's arrest. Since that time, Knox has again flip-flopped, withdrawing her confession and reverting back to her earlier claim that she was not at the scene of the crime. Regardless, police announced yesterday that they have proof that Knox is lying and that she was present during the murder.
Investigators say they have recovered surveillance camera footage from cameras overlooking the street by the apartment that show Knox entering the house at 8:45 p.m.
Sollecito also claims to have been with Knox on the night of the murder, but says he cannot remember if she spent the night.

Knox and Sollecito have yet to be formally charged. Judge Matteini recently ruled that there were "serious indications of guilt" and enough evidence in the case to hold them in a Perugian prison on suspicion of conspiracy to commit manslaughter and conspiracy to commit sexual violence. As an American without diplomatic status, Knox is subject to Italy's local laws. The suspects can be held for up to a year while police continue their investigation.
According to Perugia Police Chief Arturo de Felice, Guede has agreed not to fight his extradition, but will probably remain in Germany until some time next month.
