Wrongly accused -- not just a Canadian problem!
The man who was wrongly accused of murdering Rachel Nickell in London in 1992 has won £706,000 in compensation.
Ms Nickell, 23, was stabbed 49 times in a frenzied attack on Wimbledon Common in front of her two-year-old son. Colin Stagg, 44, who was cleared of the killing in 1994, said: "What pleases me even more than the money is that this is effectively a public apology." Robert Napper, 41, was charged with the former model's murder in November last year and is awaiting trial.
