Andrew Malkinson: independent inquiry announced into wrongful conviction
Inquiry to look at state institutions' role in rape conviction for which Malkinson spent 17 years in jail.
Ministers have announced an independent inquiry into the circumstances and handling of the Andrew Malkinson case after he was exonerated last month over a rape for which he wrongly spent 17 years in prison.
The inquiry will investigate the role of Greater Manchester police (GMP), the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) in his conviction and subsequent attempts to overturn it.
Malkinson and his civil lawyer expressed concern that it will not be statutory, meaning witnesses will not be compelled to give evidence and there will be no legal obligation to disclose documents.
Malkinson, 57, was convicted in 2004 of a rape in Greater Manchester despite there being no DNA evidence. Having spent almost two decades trying to convince the authorities he was innocent, the court of appeal overturned his conviction last month after fresh DNA testing linked another man to the crime.
Andy Malkinson a week after his conviction for rape has been overturned 20 years after his original conviction due to new DNA evidence. There is a strong suggestion that Greater Manchester Police deliberately destroyed evidence that would have exonerated him years ago. He celebrates outside the court.

'I started shaking': Andrew Malkinson on being told he is a free man.
Nearly 20 years on from conviction for rape, 57-year-old says he will go travelling - to 'anywhere that's not the UK'
It was a moment for which he had waited nearly 20 years, but when Andrew Malkinson's exoneration finally came on Wednesday his first thought was a very prosaic one: at last he could go on holiday.
Since 2004 Malkinson has lived with a conviction for rape that meant even when he was released from prison on good behaviour after more than 17 years, his freedoms were severely curtailed. His biggest love, travelling, was off-limits
Outside the appeal court, Malkinson gave a speech peppered with dignified fury. Normally a softly spoken man, he held nothing back against Greater Manchester police (GMP), whom he branded liars for their role in failing to disclose multiple flaws in the case against him and destroying key exhibits.
Andy Malkinson outside the High Court where his conviction for rape has been overturned 20 years after his original conviction due to new DNA evidence. There is a strong suggestion that Greater Manchester Police deliberately destroyed evidence that would have exonerated him years ago. He celebrates outside the court with his dog Basil, his Mother and other family and supporters.

'Birmingham could pull it off': city considers hosting Commonwealth Games again. Unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue
Pride expressed at unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue as city is called on to step in and save 2026 event.
Ozzy the animatronic bull was unveiled in its new permanent home at Birmingham New Street station, 26 July 2023.
It has been one year since a 10-metre tall mechanical bull, now named Ozzy after the Black Sabbath frontman, entered Alexandra Stadium in Birmingham to mark the opening of the Commonwealth Games.
While hundreds gathered at Birmingham New Street station this week to see the beast unveiled in its new permanent home, there was growing uncertainty about the future of the sporting event after Victoria in Australia, due to host it in 2026, pulled out because of escalating costs.
Research suggested the Birmingham Commonwealth Games generated a net profit of £100m – a “narrow economic margin” considering it cost £778m to pull off. Most of the cash (£594m) came from central government, while the city council and its partners chipped in £184m, making it.
A study commissioned by the government earlier this year found the event contributed at least £870m to the UK economy, including £453.7m in the West Midlands.

It has been one year since a 10-metre tall mechanical bull, now named Ozzy after the Black Sabbath frontman, entered Alexandra Stadium in Birmingham to mark the opening of the Commonwealth Games.
While hundreds gathered at Birmingham New Street station this week to see the beast unveiled in its new permanent home, there was growing uncertainty about the future of the sporting event after Victoria in Australia, due to host it in 2026, pulled out because of escalating costs.
Research suggested the Birmingham Commonwealth Games generated a net profit of £100m – a “narrow economic margin” considering it cost £778m to pull off. Most of the cash (£594m) came from central government, while the city council and its partners chipped in £184m, making it.
A study commissioned by the government earlier this year found the event contributed at least £870m to the UK economy, including £453.7m in the West Midlands.

Andrew Malkinson: independent inquiry announced into wrongful conviction
Inquiry to look at state institutions' role in rape conviction for which Malkinson spent 17 years in jail.
Ministers have announced an independent inquiry into the circumstances and handling of the Andrew Malkinson case after he was exonerated last month over a rape for which he wrongly spent 17 years in prison.
The inquiry will investigate the role of Greater Manchester police (GMP), the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) in his conviction and subsequent attempts to overturn it.
Malkinson and his civil lawyer expressed concern that it will not be statutory, meaning witnesses will not be compelled to give evidence and there will be no legal obligation to disclose documents.
Malkinson, 57, was convicted in 2004 of a rape in Greater Manchester despite there being no DNA evidence. Having spent almost two decades trying to convince the authorities he was innocent, the court of appeal overturned his conviction last month after fresh DNA testing linked another man to the crime.
Andy Malkinson a week after his conviction for rape has been overturned 20 years after his original conviction due to new DNA evidence. There is a strong suggestion that Greater Manchester Police deliberately destroyed evidence that would have exonerated him years ago. He celebrates outside the court.

'I started shaking': Andrew Malkinson on being told he is a free man.
Nearly 20 years on from conviction for rape, 57-year-old says he will go travelling - to 'anywhere that's not the UK'
It was a moment for which he had waited nearly 20 years, but when Andrew Malkinson's exoneration finally came on Wednesday his first thought was a very prosaic one: at last he could go on holiday.
Since 2004 Malkinson has lived with a conviction for rape that meant even when he was released from prison on good behaviour after more than 17 years, his freedoms were severely curtailed. His biggest love, travelling, was off-limits
Outside the appeal court, Malkinson gave a speech peppered with dignified fury. Normally a softly spoken man, he held nothing back against Greater Manchester police (GMP), whom he branded liars for their role in failing to disclose multiple flaws in the case against him and destroying key exhibits.

He celebrates outside the court with his dog Basil, his Mother and other family and supporters.
