Postmasters who were given prison sentences have reacted as ex-Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells broke down in tears during her testimony to the Horizon IT scandal inquiry.
In the first of three days of testimony, Ms Vennells insisted she did not know until 2012 that the Post Office conducted its own private criminal investigations, despite joining the organisation in 2007. Ms Vennells began her evidence to the Horizon IT Inquiry in central London on Wednesday by apologising to subpostmasters and their families.
