Eight former police officers accused of fabricating Lynette White murder case
“
largely the product of the imagination and then the theories and beliefs of police officers
The case is believed to be the biggest trial of police officers in British legal history and could last six months
The officers "acted corruptly together" to manufacture the case against the men they suspected killing of Lynette White in Cardiff in
Suddenly in December 1988 White's boyfriend, Stephen Miller, and four other men – Yusef Abdullahi, Tony Paris and cousins Ronnie and John Actie – were arrested and charged with her murder
Nicholas Dean QC, prosecuting, said the case was "almost entirely a fabrication" and the accusations were "largely the product of the imagination and then the theories and beliefs of police officers
"Faced as they were by the murder of a prostitute in an anonymous and squalid flat, the police were confronted by real difficulties," Dean said
