In the second part of this investigative series on Stories of our times, Emily Dugan looks back at what happened during Andy Malkinson's trial in 2004. She reveals a worrying fact about two witnesses whose testimony helped secure his conviction. Malkinson was sentenced to life in jail after a 33-year-old mother of two was raped and left for dead on a Greater Manchester roadside. But he’s always maintained his innocence.
