Innocent man George Heron lived in the same block of flats as Nikki and her family. He was questioned by police for three days before eventually making a 鈥渟o-called鈥 confession. At trial, the judge ruled his police interview tapes 鈥渋nadmissible鈥 and he was acquitted. In 2023, Northumbria issued a formal apology to Mr Heron. Produced by Philippa Goymer
