‘Oval Four’: Men ‘framed’ by corrupt detective have sentences quashed

Three men who say they were framed by a detective decades ago have had their cases quashed by the Court of Appeal.

Winston Trew, Sterling Christie and George Griffiths were part of a group known as the Oval Four.

They spent eight months in jail for assaulting a police officer and attempted theft.

The men, who belonged to a political organisation representing black people in London, have waited 47 years to have their convictions overturned.
