ROME — The man convicted of killing a British student in the Amanda Knox case broke his silence Thursday, insisting the American was at the scene of the crime on the night of the murder.
Rudy Guede, who is serving a 16-year sentence for killing Knox’s roommate Meredith Kercher, protested his innocence from an Italian jail in his first television interview.
