A man who served 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit and was freed by the Court of Appeal this week has called the police’s apology “meaningless.”

Andy Malkinson, 57, was convicted raping a woman in Manchester in 2003 and was jailed for life the following year but DNA tests later proved another man had committed the crime.
