‘High risk’ that man jailed for murder gave false confession, appeal court told
Police may have manipulated a man with learning difficulties into giving a false confession to a murder in the 1990s, the Court of Appeal has heard.
Oliver Campbell was jailed for life in 1991 for murdering shopkeeper Baldev Hoondle in Hackney, London the previous July.
The 53-year-old was released in 2002 and is now appealing against his conviction, which his barristers have said is “unsafe” and should be quashed.
