Treasury minister John Glen has called for a “thorough review” of the Andrew Malkinson case as it emerged case files Mr. Malkinson has obtained suggest police and prosecutors knew about the presence on a rape victim’s clothes of another man’s DNA in 2007.

Mr. Malkinson, who is now 57, stayed in prison until 2020 and only had his conviction quashed last month after the DNA sample was produced.
