Here’s the latest publicly reported timeline on Andrew (Andy) Malkinson based on reputable outlets:
- Court of Appeal overturned his conviction in July 2023 after new DNA evidence emerged, clearing his name after 17 years in prison. This marked the end of a two-decade fight to prove innocence.[3][4]
- He has been awaiting compensation from the government for the wrongful conviction; reports in late 2024 and early 2025 indicate the compensation process is ongoing and he has expressed frustration with delays and the need for interim support.[2][5]
- By 2025, there were ongoing developments around the Criminal Cases Review Commission and related inquiries connected to his case, including discussions of accountability and reforms in the miscarriages of justice sector.[6][2]
- Media coverage in 2025-2026 continued detailing his experiences post-release and the broader implications for compensation schemes and reform in the UK criminal justice system.[7][8]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise dates or quotes from those sources, or summarize the key legal milestones and compensation steps in a concise timeline. I can also look for any recent updates beyond early 2025 if you want the very latest.
Would you like a short timeline or a focused summary on compensation progress?
