Knox is scheduled to appear in court again next week for questioning by chief prosecutor Giuliano Mignini.
Meredith Kercher was found dead in her apartment on November 2. According to a report on the case authored by Judge Claudia Matteini of the Civil and Penal Tribunal of Perugia that was leaked to the media earlier this month and published by Timesonline.co.uk, police found "bruises" and "lesions" on Meredith's neck, suggesting she was "held by the neck, leaving bruising compatible with the pressure of fingers, and subsequently threatened with a knife held to her throat... Bruises indicate a sexual act carried out or attempted in a hurry or against the girl's wishes."

When Knox first spoke with police, she told them she was not home when Meredith was murdered. She said she had spent the night with Sollecito and when she returned the following morning, she discovered the apartment had been ransacked. However, during interrogation Knox broke down and admitted to being present when Meredith was killed.

"Patrick and Meredith were in Meredith's room, while I had stayed in the kitchen," her published confession reads. "I can't remember how long they were together in the room, but I can only say that at a certain point, I heard Meredith screaming, and I was scared, so I covered my ears. After that, I don't remember anything; my head is very confused... I can't remember if Raffaele was there that night. I remember waking up in his bed at his house and that I went back to my house where I found the door open."
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.
