'Why am I still fighting to clear my name?' Former sub-postmaster, convicted of embezzling money 16 years ago, says authorities not moving quickly enough to clear people's names

Rab Thomson took over Cambus Post Office in Clackmannanshire from his mum in the early 2000s, around the time the Post Office was rolling out its new Horizon system.

"I went one day to see Mum and I found her dead," he said. "I blame myself to this day for losing my mum… she didn't want anything to go wrong with the family."He described the situation since then as "horrendous" and said he had tried to take his own life. He feels the authorities aren't moving quickly enough to quash convictions.

The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, which investigates miscarriages of justice, is urging potential victims to come forward. It is currently investigating 11 cases, including Mr Thomson's and is expecting to announce a decision on eight cases in November.Mr Thomson's lawyer David Enright said the facts of his case could not be more distressing.
