TOTALLY UNFAIR

No compo after quashed murder conviction so cops set to be sued

- BY SASKIA ROWLANDS

A VICTIM of one of the longest miscarriages of justice is set to sue the police for “bullying” him into falsely confessing to murder.

Appeal Court judges ruled last September that the 1991 murder conviction of Oliver Campbell, who has learning difficulties, was unsafe.

Vulnerable Mr Campbell, 55, had been jailed for life for the fatal shooting of shopkeeper Baldev Hoondle during a botched robbery in Hackney, East London, in 1990.

He spent 11 years in prison and a further two decades on licence but has had no compensation, despite his conviction being quashed.
