It’s not the report but rather a briefing note that commences at page 35. Presumably the previous pages comprise the report. Nonetheless, it’s fascinating and you deserve much recognition for having obtained it.
l downloaded it earlier today for free. Essentially, Matthews concludes that Hanratty’s conviction was unsafe and recommendeds that the case be referred to the Court of Appeal. He doesn’t say who he thinks committed the murder but says that the case against Alphon was much greater than the case against Hanratty.
What stands out for me, and which l was unaware of, is the ID parade in which Storie eventually identified Hanratty. Matthew’s makes the following observation:
”It would appear that his (Hanratty) was the only London accent among members of the parade”.
Unbelievable.
Thanks again djw.
