Two men wrongly convicted of a murder in Gloucester today joined with the victim's family to demand a public inquiry.

Gary Mills, 44, and Anthony Poole, 41, were jailed for life at Bristol Crown Court in 1990 over the fatal stabbing of Hensley Wiltshire during a fight at a flat in Conduit Street, Gloucester, in January 1989.

After serving 14 years in prison, the Court of Appeal ruled in June that the convictions were unsafe.

Now, on the 15th anniversary of Mr Wiltshire's death the pair, together with Mr Wiltshire's brother and friends, are calling for an independent public inquiry into how he died.

During a protest outside Gloucester police station today, Clive Fairley, 43, Mr Wiltshire's half-brother, said: 'I came here today to mark the anniversary of my brother's death.

'We believe his death was due to the injuries he suffered whilst in police custody. We want to know why he died as he should be with us today.

'We want to be taken seriously and we are determined not to sit down and let this lie.'

Mr Mills said that he had been through an horrific time in prison but still no-one has paid the price for Hensley's death.

He said: 'Although we have been released, it hasn't sorted out any of the problems surrounding Hensley's death.

'We want a public inquiry because his family are entitled to answers.'
