A murder conviction from 1972 should be re-examined by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) more than 50 years on, a Kent MP has said.
Damian Collins will raise the case of Paul Cleeland in a Westminster debate, external.
Cleeland, 81, from Folkestone, denied murdering Terry Clarke in Hertfordshire in 1972 but served 26 years in jail.
“A lot of the evidence that was used in court, presented in court, wouldn’t be admissible today,” the MP said. The CCRC said the case had been subject to thorough reviews.
