Has Foxy Knoxy got a new man in her life already?

By Tom Leonard


She was said to be looking forward to the ‘simplest things’ in life when she was released from jail .

And perhaps a cosy stroll for two through the streets of her hometown was exactly what Amanda Knox had in mind.

The 24-year-old clasped the hand of a mystery man who wrapped his arm around her shoulders as the pair went for a walk in Seattle on Tuesday.

While Miss Knox’s family insist romance is the last thing on her mind, the intimate body language between her and her companion suggested they could be more than just good friends.

Miss Knox returned from the Italian town of Perugia almost a month ago after a court overturned her conviction for the murder of British student Miss Kercher.

Friends flocking to see her after her four years in prison have included David Johnsrud, her boyfriend before she went to Italy on a student exchange programme.

But Amanda’s father, Curt, dismissed suggestions they were rekindling their romance and poured cold water on claims that Miss Knox was pining after Raffaele Sollecito, the Italian ex-boyfriend who was also released from jail last month.

And he insisted his daughter was not about to dive into another relationship, saying she simply developed close bonds with both male and female friends.

However, Miss Kercher’s father John called on ‘insensitive’ Miss Knox to keep a lower profile after she was photographed dressed as a cat burglar for a Halloween party.

The last picture taken of Miss Kercher was at a Halloween party in 2007.
The following day she was murdered in the flat the two women shared.

Mr Kercher said: ‘The anniversary is obviously a very difficult time for our family and images like this don’t help.’
