Flora Page, representing a number of sub-postmasters, described Horizon as an “out of control monster” by the time of Ms Misra’s trial. He is currently the subject of a Metropolitan Police investigation on suspicion of perjury and perverting the course of justice. During his evidence, Mr Jenkins said: “I am sorry what happened to Ms Misra but I feel that was due to the way that Post Office had behaved and wasn’t purely down to me.
