I was aware vaguely of the incident. But not being from Cardiff and being young at the time I had no idea of the details and corruption involved. Shocking.

After watching the Making A Murderer series on Netflix nothing surprises anymore with police corruption
Most coppers are decent , the ones involved in fitting up those five were a disgrace to south Wales police
Paradise lost , now THAT is a worrying watch
Thanks. Just found this.

The year before Lynette White's murder three Cardiff men were wrongly convicted for the murder of newsagent Phillip Saunders.
Michael O'Brien, Darren Hall and Ellis Sherwood spent eleven years inside.
In many ways the worst part is that none of the coppers involved were ever brought to justice.
I guess that was what the police wanted, split the community up and move them out for the Cardiff Bay development etc? The docks was a wild place back then.
Hard to believe they would go to such extremes to frame 5 locals, whilst happy to let some crazy who almost cut a girls head off walk the streets instead.
Like someone said, I reckon the South Wales plod learned a big lesson from that as there are loads of really good ones out there these days.
SWP definitely learnt a lot from that incident. There’s no way a case these would have that sort of dreadful investigation.
The Major Crime Team are very very good at their jobs. The above investigation was a relic of the Life On Mars days.
Plus the Professional Standards Department these days will have no hesitation in investigating and ensuring Coppers who have done wrong are prosecuted.
