Amanda Knox is set to make her first-ever trip to Britain next week, arriving in London to present her documentary film about the high profile killing of Meredith Kercher.
The 38-year-old American, who faced two convictions and two acquittals over the British student's death, will host screenings of "Mouth of the Wolf" on April 21 and 22 at Greenwich Picturehouse.
The venue sits just a short distance from Coulsdon in south London, where Ms Kercher, aged 21 upon her death, had lived before travelling to Italy for her studies.
Ms Knox's husband Christopher Robinson directed the documentary, which chronicles her journey back to the Perugia flat where she and Ms Kercher shared accommodation when the murder took place in November 2007.
Ms Kercher was studying at the University of Leeds when she embarked on an exchange programme to Perugia, moving into shared accommodation with Knox, then 20, and two Italian women.
The pair had socialised together and attended a EuroChocolate festival during their time as flatmates at the University for Foreigners.
On the night of November 1 2007, Ms Kercher was sexually assaulted and fatally stabbed in the neck in her bedroom, where her body was discovered beneath a bloodied duvet.

Ms Knox was initially convicted in 2009 and handed a 26-year sentence, but was released in 2011 when the verdict was overturned.
A retrial in 2014 saw her convicted again, before Italy's Supreme Court definitively acquitted her in 2015, citing "sensational investigative failures" by authorities.
Rudy Hermann Guede was ultimately convicted of the murder and released in 2021.
Francesco Maresca, the lawyer representing the Kercher family, has previously accused Knox of repeatedly making money from the murder.

"On the one hand, Amanda says the trial created so much suffering for her, but then she tries to have all the fame and the money," he said.
"Knox is only interested in the profits she continues to make from an affair, on which she should be silent."
Critics have accused Ms Knox of "cashing in" on Ms Kercher's death through her various commercial activities.
Since her final acquittal, the 38-year-old has published a memoir, launched a true crime podcast called Hard Knox, and executive-produced a Hulu series examining her own case.
She has also performed stand-up comedy routines in California, making jokes about her murder conviction to paying audiences.
Ms Knox announced the London screenings on social media, describing them as "intimate" events in a city known for "bold, thought-provoking storytelling".
"I've never been to the UK, but I'm finally going," she wrote, adding that both screenings had already sold out, but that additional tickets would be released.

The documentary includes original songs performed by Ms Knox herself, accompanied by music videos she produced.
Following each screening, Knox and her husband will take questions from the audience at the free events.
Since her prolific case, she has positioned herself as an advocate for those she believes have been wrongfully convicted.
The London visit comes after she sparked controversy in February by defending Lucy Letby, the nurse convicted seven times of murdering babies, in a podcast series examining the case.
