Four Former Officers Investigated in Andrew Malkinson Miscarriage of Justice

Andrew Malkinson's wrongful conviction for rape, overturned last year, prompts investigation into police conduct and procedural failures.

Andrew Malkinson was wrongfully imprisoned for 17 years for a 2003 rape conviction that was overturned by DNA evidence linking another suspect.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating four retired officers for potential gross misconduct in the case.
One officer is under criminal investigation for possible misconduct in public office and perverting the course of justice.
The investigation will focus on police procedures during suspect identification, evidence handling, and witness incentives.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has apologized for its role in the delays and failings that led to Malkinson's prolonged imprisonment.
