Foxy Knoxy finds love again: Amanda falls for classical guitarist (and she's moving in with him) 
 
 She pledged to return to a ‘normal’ life after being sensationally cleared of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher. 
 
 And Amanda Knox was doing just that as she appeared hand-in-hand with her new lover in Seattle today. 
 
 The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Knox, 24 – dubbed ‘Foxy Knoxy’ – has embarked on a romance with an old friend, handsome classical guitar student James Terrano.

 Last night Terrano’s nuclear physicist brother William, 27, confirmed: ‘Yes, she’s dating my brother. They have known each other for years. We’ve all been friends since before Amanda went to Italy.’ 
 
 On Friday, the couple emerged separately from the shabby £950-a-month apartment they share in Seattle’s rundown Chinatown area with Knox saying: ‘I can’t tell you anything.’

 Terrano said ‘I’m sorry’ when asked if he was ‘serious’ about her. 
 
 
 
 Knox’s new boyfriend is from a middle-class New York family. He is studying classical music, specialising in guitar, at Seattle’s University of Washington. Knox had been reading languages there and is believed to be about to resume her studies. 
 
 Knox, who was pictured kissing boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito within hours of the discovery of Kercher’s body in the home the two women shared in Perugia, Italy, appeared blissfully happy with Terrano, 24. 
 
 On Tuesday they shared Haagen Dazs ice cream and strolled arm- in-arm around Chinatown, buying groceries at an Asian market. 
 
 The pair spent every night last week together inside Terrano’s modest rented flat in a nondescript brick building with a gaudy red flashing ‘Hong Kong’ neon sign outside. A witness said: ‘She likes the area as she can walk about unrecognised and blend into the crowd.’ 
 
 The news came as Sollecito confirmed that their doomed relationship is over as he finally broke his silence with an in-depth interview on Italian TV. 
 
 The 27-year-old said Knox invited him to visit her in the U.S. but that he does not know if or when he will go. 
 
 While Knox and her family spoke in the immediate aftermath of the decision, Sollecito had maintained a silence until now. 
 
 In his hour-long interview he described how their lives had 'changed for ever' after 'years of suffering'.

 But he said he was adamant that he wanted to help the Kercher family find out the truth of what happened so 'Meredith's soul could have peace and so the people who love her can have peace as well'. 
 
 Then, when asked if he still had feelings towards Knox, Sollecito smiled and tears appeared to well in his eyes as he said: 'It's all over between us. 
 
 'I still have a great affection towards her but nothing else. Our love was like a seed that was not allowed to grow because it was brutally stamped on. 
 
 'All I want to say is that I wish her all the happiness in the world. She has suffered like me and now I just want her to be happiest woman in the world.

 In his first interview since he and ex-girlfriend Amanda Knox were released from Italian prison after their murder convictions were overturned, Raffaele Sollecito said the pair’s romantic relationship is over because of the “cruel injustice” they suffered. 
 
 “Our love was like a seed that was not allowed to grow because it was brutally stamped on. We were both victims of a cruel injustice and our relationship was overcome,” he said in an interview with Italian television, according to a report in the Daily Mail. 
 
 Knox, 24, and Sollecito, 27, have been the subject of many news stories – and a great deal of speculation — since their murder convictions in the death of Knox’s roommate Meredith Kercher were vacated by an Italian appeals court on Oct. 3. 
 
 The prosecution had charged that Knox and Sollecito killed Kercher in a cottage that the two young women shared in Perugia, Italy, while they were studying there. Knox and Sollecito were convicted in 2009 and Knox was sentenced to 26 years, while Sollecito got a 25-year sentence. Both were freed after an independent report by court-appointed experts cast serious doubts on the evidence that police collected. 
 
 Since then, both families have kept very low profiles, and Friday’s interview on the program “Quarto Grado” was Sollecito’s first time being interviewed since he got out of prison. 
 
 He wished Knox the best for the future, and said he had “affection” for her. 
 
 The interview contradicts other supposed interviews in British and Italian media in which Sollecito reportedly claims to have been in daily contact with Knox and planned to visit her in America before Christmas. Sollecito’s father, Francesco Sollecito, has said those media reports were lies. 
 
 Raffaele Sollecito confirmed that Knox had invited him to visit her in Seattle, but said he would not be accepting the offer anytime soon. 
 
 “We were both victims of a cruel injustice and our relationship was overcome by this tragedy. Our lives are linked by circumstances but now they are very different,” he said during the interview. 
 
 He also said he had reached out the family of the victim, but “found the doors closed.” 
 
 Kercher, a student at the University of Leeds, was studying in Perugia for a year when she was killed. She had been sharing an apartment with Knox, an American student, and two Italian women. She was found partially nude and with her throat slit in her bedroom on Nov. 2, 2007. 
 
 A third person, Rudy Guede, 22, was also convicted and originally sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in the 21-year-old student’s murder. His sentence was later reduced to 16 years on appeal.

 Freed Amanda Knox is in regular contact with her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, he has revealed in an interview. 
 
 The couple were sensationally cleared of murdering and sexually assaulting student Meredith Kercher, 21, who was found semi-naked and with her throat cut in her bedroom of the house she shared with Knox, 24. 
 
 She and Sollecito, 27, had been seeing each other for a week before the brutal murder and initially they had been sentenced to 26 and 25 years respectively but they were released on appeal earlier this month.

 Breaking his silence for the first time in an interview with glossy Italian weekly Oggi, computer studies graduate Sollecito said: 'We need each other - we speak to each other on the phone and write to each other every day.' 
 
 
 
 Then, speaking of his invitation to visit Knox in her hometown of Seattle, Sollecito added: 'I will certainly go and see Amanda. She asked me over and I accepted with pleasure and there is no saying I will wait until Christmas. 
 
 'I could go earlier - I could go at any moment. I really want to see her again, to speak with her and look into her eyes. 
 
 Knox and Sollecito were photographed kissing shortly after the death of Meredith Kercher 
 
 'We need to speak and write to each other to try and understand what happened to us and to look forward to a future that appeared broken forever but instead we can still build on. 
 
 'We have so many things to say to each other. We spent four years in a circle of hell, we suffered unspeakably and it ruined our lives.' 
 
 Knox has kept a low profile since she was freed and is said to be negotiating a money-spinning TV interview deal with an American TV network which could make her $1 million - with the potential of earning up to ten times that amount as well. 
 
 Since returning to Seattle she has been seen out and about with friends but generally keeping a low profile and spending time with her family.

 She was pictured out in downtown Seattle earlier this month with best friend Madison Paxton, who stayed close to her while she was in prison, and days earlier taking a drive with her step-father Chris Mellas. 
 
 
 
 She wrote in prison of how she longed to see her former boyfriend, David Johnsrud, and he was one of the first to pay her a visit on her return, although her father Curt stressed their relationship was now one simply of ‘friendship’. 
 
 Asked how his daughter had changed since she was jailed, Mr Knox said in an interview earlier this month that she was little different, other than occasionally slipping into speaking Italian and being less trusting of authority after her experience with Italian police. ‘It’s almost like she hasn’t lost a step with the family, which is nice to see,’ he said.

 He said his daughter had to remain largely indoors for the moment, describing it as ‘a different version of jail’ but said she had at least been able to lie down in the grass – something she had longed for while in prison. 
 
 Mr Knox also revealed his daughter was being shadowed by a bodyguard and the family has been inundated with hate mail and threatening phone calls. 
 
 Knox and Sollecito, from Bisceglie near Bari, were originally found guilty in 2009 of the murder which had taken two years previously in the Italian hilltop town of Perugia. 
 
 However the appeal heard how the original evidence used to convict them was flawed and contaminated and they were freed after an independent forensic report ordered by the judge condemned the forensic investigation.

 Key to the case was a 30cm kitchen knife found in Sollecito's apartment and on which was said to be DNA from Knox on the handle and that of Meredith on the blade. 
 
 But the report said the amount on the knife was so low is should not be used to convict Knox - although they confirmed it was her DNA on the handle but she argued she had used it to cook with. 
 
 DNA from Sollecito which was found on Meredith's bloodied bra clasp was also dismissed as it emerged it had been left in the murder scene for six weeks before being collected and leaving it open to contamination. 
 
 Prosecutors in Perugia have said they will appeal the decision but they will have to wait until the judge's written ruling on the verdict is published sometime in the New Year. 
 
 Meredith from Coulsdon, Surrey, was a Leeds University student and was in Perugia for her degree course and she had only been in Italy for two months before she was murdered in November 2007. 
 
 Ivory Coast drifter Rudy Guede, 24, was convicted of murder and sexual assault after a fast track trial in 2008 and originally sentenced to 30 years but this was later reduced to 16 on appeal.
– Sad news for those of you who were hoping to see wrongly accused lovers Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito reunite: In a new interview on Italian TV, Sollecito confirmed “it’s all over between us,” as tears apparently welled up, according to the Daily Mail. “I still have a great affection toward her but nothing else. Our love was like a seed that was not allowed to grow because it was brutally stamped on,” he continued. “All I want to say is that I wish her all the happiness in the world. She has suffered like me and now I just want her to be (the) happiest woman in the world.” Sollecito had previously said they “need each other” (although his father claims that report was a lie, ABC News adds) and Knox’s father had predicted a reunion; now Sollecito says that he has no immediate plans to accept Knox's invitation to the US. Don’t worry about Amanda, though, she appears to have moved on: The Mail has pictures of her hand-in-hand with musician James Terrano, 24. “Yes, she’s dating my brother. They have known each other for years,” Terrano’s brother confirms. The Mail reports that the couple is moving in together. Clip for more from Sollecito’s interview, including a video clip.
