Andrew Malkinson's conviction for rape has been overturned after he spent 17 years in prison
Andy Burnham has described Andrew Malkinson's wrongful conviction and jail term as a 'terrible miscarriage of justice'.
Asked on Sky News today about how concerned he was on GMP's role in the case, he said: "There are very very serious issues, this is a terrible miscarriage of justice. "I will certainly be going through in detail the issues arising for Greater Manchester from the court judgement yesterday and I will be doing that very carefully."
"I think there are two issues there and those are the issues I will want to discuss with the government arising from Andrew's case, which as I say is a really terrible miscarriage of justice." "So I think there are serious lessons here for Greater Manchester Police. But I think there are also big lessons here for the way in which appeals get heard in this country.
