Boxer on death row for 46 years after he was framed for quadruple murder by police awarded record payout

Iwao Hakamada is believed to be the world’s longest-serving death row inmate



Iwao Hakamada, a former boxer and the world's longest-serving death row inmate after being wrongly convicted of murder in 1968, has been awarded a record 200 million yen (£1 million) in compensation by a Japanese court. The conviction was overturned after 46 years, with the court finding evidence of police fabrication. The Shizuoka police apologized for the miscarriage of justice.
