M25 Three

The M25 Three are Raphael Rowe, Michael Davis, and Randolph Johnson, who were incorrectly jailed for life, following a miscarriage of justice at the Old Bailey in March 1990 for a series of attacks and robberies around the M25, London's orbital motorway, on a night in December, 1988. Michael Davis has always protested his innocence.

They were incorrectly found guilty of the murder of hairdresser Peter Hurburgh, who was dragged from his car at gunpoint with his homosexual lover, tied up and beaten, and then suffered a fatal heart attack.

Eventually, the case went to the European Court of Human Rights, who ruled that the three men had not been given a fair trial under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, stating that their trial had been "compromised" by the prosecution's use of the Public Interest Immunity certificates to withhold evidence useful to the defence.

Raphael Rowe is now an investigative journalist for the BBC and he is a member of the Advisory Council of the National College of Music.
