Tributes have poured in for Tony Paris, who became a campaigner for justice after being wrongly convicted for the notorious 1988 murder of Lynette White in Cardiff’s docklands.

Paris, who has died aged 65, was one of the “Cardiff Three”, who were jailed in 1990 but cleared two years later at the appeal court. The real murderer, Jeffrey Gafoor, was convicted in 2003.
