A man jailed for life for a 1991 murder in Hackney is being reconsidered by the Court of Appeal after claims of a false confession due to being 'humiliated' and 'bullied'. The appeal court highlights a 'high risk' of a false confession and mentions a vulnerable man confessing during the 11th of 14 interviews. In a separate case, two men have been convicted over a gang shooting in Hackney.
