Kercher murder knife 'wrong weapon'

The knife that police claim killed British student Meredith Kercher could not have been used to cut her throat, a forensic expert told a court.

The blade, which had traces of both Ms Kercher's DNA and that of her accused killer American Amanda Knox, was too long to be the weapon, defence witness Carlo Torre said.

Miss Knox and her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito are both accused of murdering Ms Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, Surrey, at the apartment she shared in Perguia, Italy in November 2007.
