Amanda Knox’s ex-fiance Raffaele Sollecito gets engaged and announces his happy news on Instagram – The Sun

THE ex-fiance of Amanda Knox has got engaged to his girlfriend.

Pals were quick to congratulate Raffaele Sollecito after he announced the news on Instagram.

Sollecito was arrested along with Amanda "Foxy Knoxy" Knox for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007.

After twice being convicted, Italy's highest court found him not guilty.

At the time, Sollecito said the murder was "a tragedy that has destroyed my life".

But he's now celebrating after posting a photograph of him posing with his new fiancee against a snow-peaked mountain backdrop – alongside the proud caption: "with my bride to be".

Sollecito, 31, and Knox, now 32, were originally convicted of murdering University of Leeds student Meredith, 21, in 2007.

She was found in an apartment in Perugia, Italy, which she shared with exchange student Knox.

Sollecito and Knox were eventually freed on appeal amid dramatic court scenes which made headlines around the world.

Rudy Guede, 33, is now serving life after being separately convicted of killing Meredith.
