Senior circuit judge Sarah Munro KC will chair the independent inquiry into the handling of Andrew Malkinson’s case, after he wrongly spent 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit.
The probe is set to examine how Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) handled the case but will not look at the appeals process more generally, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said.
