Amanda Knox acted bizarrely after being arrested for the murder of Meredith Kercher by doing the splits and a cartwheel, a court heard yesterday."Foxy Knoxy", 21, and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 24, allegedly killed Meredith when she refused to take part in a drug-fuelled sex game.
As Knox's trial in Perugia resumed, police officer Giacinto Profazio told of her bizarre behaviour after her arrest.
Mr Profazio said: "I heard on the night Knox and Sollecito were arrested she was in a room at the station sitting on his knee. I was told that she did the splits and a cartwheel in one of the rooms then later after being questioned all night she burst into tears." Dressed in tight denim jeans and a purple top, Knox appeared more sombre than usual yesterday.
The prosecution claims the death in 2007 was made to look as if Meredith, who was found naked with her throat cut, had been killed by an intruder.
Mr Profazio said of the scene: "A broken window was pointed out, which was said to have been the point of entry but it would have needed a superhuman effort to climb. There was a much easier way in at the back."
He said police found a foot-long knife in Sollecito's house with DNA from Meredith and Knox on it. Knox and Sollecito claim the DNA is flawed but the court will hear from a dozen scientists. Meredith, 21, of Coulsdon, Surrey, was in Italy on an exchange from Leeds University and shared a house with Knox.
In earlier hearings Knox was described as "cold and unemotional" after her death. The trial continues.
