Seventeen years: The Andrew Malkinson story (Pt 6) - Police failings

In the final episode of this investigative series, Emily Dugan speaks to the former wife of one suspect from the time. It raises questions about how thorough Greater Manchester Police were in their investigation of the crime.

Andrew Malkinson was sentenced to life in jail in 2004 for rape. No forensics linked him to the scene and he’s always maintained his innocence.
