15:49Now PlayingThe Court of Appeal is about to examine whether to overturn the conviction of a man who is in jail on a minimum 20 year sentence for murder. It's a case that goes back to the violent killing in 2006 of an elderly man in a prosperous part of North London. The subsequent trial was partly held in secret. Did that contribute to a potential miscarriage of justice? Journalist and writer Thomas Harding, who lived in the neighbourhood of the murder, interviewed the convicted man, Wang Yam. He's authored this film for Newsnight.
Newsnight contacted the Metropolitan Police for comment on the claim that another similar burglary in the same street was not passed by local police onto Met officers investigating the murder, or to the defence team. The Met said it was unable to comment given the ongoing judicial proceedings.
