Jason Moore was convicted of killing Robert Darby in East London back in 2005.

He’s spent nearly a decade in prison for murder.

Yet, the family of the victim, believe Moore is actually innocent. And former detectives in the Met agree.

So, should he be locked up? What really happened? And what does this say about our justice system?

ITV News Reporter Sam Holder tells Julie Etchingham What You Need to Know…



A statement from the Metropolitan Police in response to the investigation:
“In 2021 we reviewed information provided to the enquiry team in relation to the murder of Robert Darby in 2005 and will assess any new information that becomes apparent. We met with representatives of Robert’s family to inform them of our position. Two men were tried for his murder in 2013, with one being found guilty by a jury and the other acquitted. This investigation remains closed, but should the circumstances change, we will assess them and consider the most appropriate way to manage any developments in this investigation. The family of Jason Moore was also referred to the independent Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which investigates possible miscarriages of justice and sends some cases back to the Court of Appeal.”
