The convicted killers of Cousldon student Meredith Kercher will find out today if they have been successful in their appeal.

Amanda Knox, 24, and Raffaele Sollecito, 27, appeared in a court in Perugia today to give their final statements.

A decision on the appeal case is due at about 8pm today.

Knox was jailed for 26 years and Sollecito for 25 years after the pair were found guilty of killing Muss Kercher, 21, in her flat in Perugia in 2007.

The pair have always maintained their innocence.

A third man, Rudy Guede, from the Ivory Coast, had his conviction upheld in a separate hearing and is serving a 16-year jail term.
