McKie fingerprint inquiry due

Jun 2 2009

The father of the policewoman wrongly accused of leaving her fingerprint at a murder scene said he hopes the public inquiry which is due to open will establish the truth.

Sir Anthony Campbell, chairman of the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the Shirley McKie fingerprint case, will open the hearings in Glasgow.

The Fingerprint Inquiry was set up to look at the steps which were taken to identify and verify the fingerprints associated with the case of HM Advocate v McKie in 1999.
