A TRANSGENDERED mafia turncoat says that Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito could not have killed Meredith Kercher because her brother did it.

Luciano Aviello, who told the court she wanted to be referred to as "Luciano Lucia", spent time in prison with Sollecito.

Aviello had made the claim in the original trial before retracting it. However she now says her brother Antonio Aviello is the guilty one.
