[2009] UKPC 40

Convictions for murder were found to be unsafe and were quashed where the original account of the main prosecution witness was not credible and differed from his later accounts, where his evidence was given following an agreement that he would be immune from prosecution and where the judge had not given appropriate directions to the jury on those issues.
