'Mr Malkinson is a victim of one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history. We continue to work hard to ensure his complaints are thoroughly and independently investigated.'
Four retired GMP officers are under investigation after a man spent 17 years in jail when wrongly committed of a Salford rape. A police watchdog has also revealed the allegations against the force it is scrutinising after "one of the worst missacarriages of justice in British history"
A 105-page report by Chris Henley KC, found that the Criminal Cases Review Commission could have spared Mr Malkinson a decade of wrongful imprisonment if it had not “missed” the opportunity to send his case back to the Court of Appeal in 2009, when DNA evidence made clear “he might be innocent”. Today the Independent Office for Police Conduct said its investigation into complaints made by Mr Malkinson, was making "good progress".
“Following a detailed review of evidence spanning a period of more than 20 years, we have now informed four retired GMP officers that they are under investigation for potential gross misconduct.
