A woman was wrongly accused of killing her best friend - because police could not understand her Liverpool accent.

 

Teresa Rylands was cleared of murdering Neil Mitchell in Newton Abbot, Devon, when the prosecution withdrew its case.

 

It emerged her alleged confession during a 999 call was mis-transcribed because of her accent.

Given that the Devon and Cornwall police were involved, it's probably hardly surprising.
