New evidence in the case of a man who has spent 23 years in prison for murder suggests he was framed by police, BBC Panorama has found.
Police knew the testimony of the main prosecution witness in the trial of Omar Benguit for the murder of South Korean student Jong-Ok Shin was directly contradicted by CCTV evidence, we have learned.
A total of 13 other witnesses used to support the prosecution case have now told the BBC the police pressured them to embellish their statements or lie in court.
Dorset Police did not directly address the suggestion that officers had framed Benguit, but said its investigation was “thorough, detailed and very complex”.
