Stockwell Six: Teenagers convictions overturned 50 years later

Two teenagers from the Stockwell six have had their convictions overturned for robbing a corrupt police officer 50 years ago.

The men, part of the so-called Stockwell Six, were arrested in 1972 and stood trial on a case built largely on the word of Derek Ridgewell – a detective sergeant who was later sent to prison for corruption.

One of the men – Cleveland Davidson told Sky News that his father died thinking he was guilty.

He was speaking to Ivor Bennett – who has this report.
