The sister of Meredith Kercher has said a show by Amanda Knox, who was convicted of her murder and later cleared, "normalizes and trivializes violence against women."
British foreign exchange student Kercher was killed in Perugia, in 2007, and Knox, her US roommate, was arrested and later convicted of murder and ******* ual ******* ault in 2009 alongside Knox's then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.
The couple maintained their innocence and, after years of legal battles, were acquitted of ******* ual ******* ault and murder by Italy's highest court in 2015.
Knox will now perform the show, named Cartwheel, which references a story that claimed she did cartwheels in the police station after her friend's death, at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
Stephanie Kercher told BBC Breakfast: "It's left a massive void in our lives, and Amanda is naturally free to continue with her life as she wishes, but I think the problem with this particular project is that it is comedy.
