Congolese accused of murdering British student

Patrick Lumumba, a Congolese bar owner whom Amanda Knox had accused of committing the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, looks on during a break in Knox's appeal trial in Perugia September 26, 2011.

Knox is appealing against a 26-year jail term imposed after she was found guilty of murdering Kercher during a drug-fuelled orgy. Prosecutors have asked the appeals court to extend her sentence to life in jail. REUTERS/Alessandro Bianchi (ITALY - Tags: CRIME LAW HEADSHOT)
