Exclusive: Malkinson was convicted with no DNA evidence and says police must be compelled to disclose why

an inquiry into how he was wrongfully convicted of rapeMalkinson said he thought the lord chancellor, Alex Chalk, had “made a mistake” by not compelling witnesses by law to testify and disclose documents. The inquiry’s chair is expected to be declared imminently, but Malkinson first wants to see evidence that it will have legal “teeth”.

Now he wants more answers. “I want to know all the details of exactly how and why happened. Because I can’t rest until I know. It’s my life and the suffering is incalculable. Oceans of tears I’ve suffered because of that. And I want to know why.” His home is now a compact grey and orange tent, his one concession to luxury an inflatable airbed. He is subsisting on very little, knowing it is likely to be two years before he sees any compensation because he is planning a civil claim.

Until the various inquiries into the case, as well as any civil claim, are concluded he feels he cannot move on. “I’m reliving this experience constantly. I can’t draw a line under anything and it’s very stressful … I’m pretty much in limbo at the moment. Nothing is resolved.”
