Ex-cop Bailey vows to sue state over imprisonment

Colin Bailey during yesterday’s virtual press conference

Former Police Sergeant Colin Bailey, who after spending six years behind bars was released following an admission from the prosecution at his trial that it never had any evidence linking him to the murder of his reputed wife of 21 years has vowed to sue the State.

He underscored the years stripped of his liberty, damage to his character and distress.

The former Sergeant during a press conference yesterday from the office of his attorney Nigel Hughes, spoke out about what he described as the deplorable conditions of prison facilities and his will to survive and defend himself against inmates he had once been in-charge of as a cop.
