Omar Benguit: Third appeal bid for convicted murderer

Omar Benguit was found unanimously guilty of the murder of Jong-Ok Shin in 2005.
Benguit, now aged in his late 40s, has had two appeals against his conviction dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
But now an investigation which aired yesterday in a BBC Three show claims to have found new evidence that could provide him with an alibi for the Bournemouth crime.
In the programme, Unsolved: An Alibi for Omar?, journalist Bronagh Munro also says several prosecution witnesses claim police pressured them to tell lies about Benguit.
A fresh application has now been made with the Criminal Case Review Commission (CCRC) for a new appeal, reportedly based on the evidence covered in the show.
