REVEALED: I spent 11 years in jail for a murder i didn t commit | Vintage Vibes

A man wrongfully convicted of murder in a notorious miscarriage of justice has described the moment he met the victim's family for the first time. He has vowed to continue the fight for justice to find Phillip Saunders' killers.

Michael O'Brien was just 19 years old when he was arrested and later charged for the murder of the businessman in Cardiff in 1987. He spent 11 years in prison before his conviction was quashed and since then he has been campaigning on behalf of victims of miscarriages of justice.

The 52-year-old appeared on a Sky documentary called British Injustice with Raphael Rowe during which he med Mr Saunders' sister Phoebe, 92, and her son David. It was an emotional moment for Michael who felt relief that Mr Saunders' family no longer believed he was responsible for his murder.
