'Fabricated' evidence used to convict men of killing prostitute
Thirteen police officers are to be charged with perverting the course of justice, 21 years after they allegedly "moulded, manipulated and fabricated" evidence to secure convictions against three men wrongly accused of killing a prostitute.
Stephen Miller, Yusef Abdullahi and Anthony Paris were jailed in 1990 for the murder of Lynette White, a 20-year-old sex worker who was stabbed more than 50 times in a flat in Cardiff in 1988.
The men – dubbed The Cardiff Three – protested their innocence and were freed on appeal in 1992. More than 10 years later, in 2003, Jeffrey Gafoor, a security guard from Llanharan, near Bridgend, admitted to the murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
