As she tries to fight a reconviction for the murder of her former roommate Meredith Kercher, American Amanda Knox may soon be dealing with accusations that the home where she committed her alleged crimes is cursed.

Amanda Knox Wins Civil Suit Against Italian Newspaper?

According to a Radar Online report, the Perugia Italy villa, where Knox and Kercher were roommates before Kercher was discovered horrifically murdered, is back on the market after the newest tenants nearly died in a freak gas leak.

To make matters worse, the realtors have been unable to attract potential buyers, forcing them to slash the price of the home by more than $100,000 as a result.

Meredith Kercher Cause of Death Revealed?

The home, where Kercher was found brutally murdered in 2007, saw eight new tenants nearly die from a carbon monoxide leak nearly six years later. After the accident, the home's owner, retiree Aldalia Tattanelli, decided to put the property up for sale.

However, Radar reports, the fact that the home was the crime scene of Kercher's horrific murder, coupled with the gas leak, has made the home less desirable to potential buyers, forcing realtors to slash the price from an initial $630,000 down to a $520,000 price tag.

"The owner of the property really wants to sell the house," a source told the website. "But it has not been easy to find potential buyers who are willing to overlook the fact that a brutal murder took place there."

The news about the home comes just weeks after a British coroner released the results of a seven-year inquest into Kercher's death, which called the 21-year-old's passing "clearly unnatural."

"She died, the autopsy tells us, as a result of hemorraghic shock from stab and incised wounds to the vasculature of the neck. I do conclude that she was unlawfully killed," Dr. Roy Palmer said at the time. "On the night of the first and second of November 2007 Meredith was found in her bedroom at a residence in Perugia, Italy. It was clearly an unnatural death."

Knox, her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and a third man named Rudy Guede were all arrested in connection to Kercher's death back in 2007. While Guede was convicted of murder and given a 16-year sentence, Knox and Sollecito both pleaded not guilty and served four years in an Italian prison before their convictions were overturned in 2011.

However, earlier this year, an Italian court reconvicted Knox and Sollecito in a retrial focused on DNA evidence. At this trial, Knox was sentenced to 28 years in an Italian prison, while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years.

At the time of her reconviction, Knox said she would never willingly go back to Italy and serve her sentence.

"I'm not prepared. I will never willingly go back," she said at the time. "I'm going to fight this until the very end."

While Knox works on a second appeal on the case, she remains in the U.S. If her appeal is thrown out, Italy could seek her extradition to the country to begin serving her sentence.
