Three black men jailed for allegedly attempting to rob a corrupt police officer nearly 50 years ago have had their convictions overturned.
Courtney Harriot, Paul Green and Cleveland Davidson were arrested on Stockwell station in February 1972.
The trio, part of the so-called "Stockwell Six", were jailed largely on evidence from British Transport Police officer Derek Ridgewell.
The Court of Appeal dismissed their conviction on Tuesday.
