Man wrongly jailed for murdering man raising money to restore his 'forgotten' grave
Saunders was killed with a shovel in his backyard. Despite never meeting Saunders, O'Brien said he was someone he had learnt a lot about over the years."I just want to do whatever I can, not only to catch the real killer, but also to remember Philip Saunders, because I think he deserves to be remembered," he said. O'Brien received £692,900 in compensation in 2002, three years after his release, but then had £37,500 deducted from his compensation to cover "saved living expenses" while in prison.
