2: Police charge an innocent man with murder

Available for over a year

Innocent man George Heron lived in the same block of flats as Nikki and her family. He was questioned by police for three days before eventually making a “so-called” confession. At trial, the judge ruled his police interview tapes “inadmissible” and he was acquitted. In 2023, Northumbria issued a formal apology to Mr Heron. Produced by Philippa Goymer
