Three men ‘mistakenly’ cleared by jury over Waterloo stabbing lose High Court detention challenge
Three men accidentally cleared of killing a man due to a jury forewoman’s “mistake” have lost a High Court bid to challenge their ongoing detention in prison.
In January, brothers Paul and Matthew Yusuff and their friend Moussa Traore were initially unanimously acquitted by jurors of offences relating to the fatal stabbing of 32-year-old Adrian Keise outside Waterloo station in London.
Within minutes of the not guilty verdicts being was reconvened after a judge received a note indicating the jurors had not all agreed on their decisions.
