"I am pleased to be free from prison but in reality I will not be totally free until this injustice is recognised and my name cleared. I was fitted up by Oldham police and I have been failed by the justice system - a system I trusted and which I have to have hope in because I believe the truth will come out.

For 13 years there are people in my area who have refused to come forward and tell what they know about Aunty's murder - they know who they are. I understand they wanted to protect their own but they have helped to keep me in prison for 12 years for a crime I am innocent of. Shame on them and shame on those professionals who perjured themselves on oath, who fabricated evidence and conveniently "lost" crucial evidence in order to convict me. My Aunty deserved much better than that, they denied her justice!

The love and support of my family, friends and many others has sustained me throughout this nightmare and I thank them all.
My fight goes on, I will not be silent and I am not going away!"
