Sister of murdered Meredith Kercher says Amanda Knox doc fails to answer key questions in candid interview that ‘points the blame at Foxy Knoxy’
Stephanie Kercher opens up about dealing with the death of her sibling and criticises the rational behind Netflix show
THE sister of murdered Meredith Kercher has spoken out following an Amanda Knox Netflix documentary released earlier this month.
Speaking to the , Stephanie Kercher opens up about dealing with the death of her sibling in a candid interview that criticises the rationale behind the making of the programme.
"If it was a program about what actually happened, if they were investigating all the possibilities and looking at everything that happened, that might be different, but from what I can gather it is mainly a documentary about Amanda Knox's experience and it didn't answer lots of the nagging questions people have."

British student Meredith Kercher was murdered in 2007 while she was studying in Italy - her body was found naked on her bedroom floor.
The 21-year-old's flatmate Amanda Knox, dubbed "Foxy Knoxy" by the press, and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were charged with her murder along with Rudy Guede and a media storm ensued.
In court, complex and conflicting evidence was presented that appeared to indict the two who consistently changed their version of events.
But, the prosecution's case against Knox and Sollecito was blown apart by a court-ordered DNA review that discredited crucial genetic evidence.
Knox and Sollecito were released from prison after four years and were exonerated by the Supreme Court in Italy. Guede is currently serving a 16-year sentence.
Stephanie says the documentary doesn't answer any key questions in the case and only serves to rake up the past "unnecessarily".
"So if the two in question have been acquitted who else was there? In that sense we are all still in limbo... there's still many questions that these documentaries fail to address, key questions the producers avoid.
"The fact remains that the court found Rudy Guede guilty of the murder but in the final decision, one of the things the court reiterated, was the fact he didn't act alone."
She also says the Kercher family will not be watching the documentary, which includes interviews from Knox and Sollecito, and says if they had known about it in advance they wouldn't have agreed to it.
"This whole experience has impacted on everyone involved in various ways and that's part of my frustration with this new documentary that has come out - and only four weeks before Meredith's anniversary."
