Lord McAlpine gets man's apology over abuse claims

Quote:
A former resident of a north Wales care home has apologised for making false allegations of sexual abuse against a Conservative politician.
Steve Messham said a case of mistaken identity had led to peer Lord McAlpine being linked to the historical claims.
Mr Messham offered "sincere and humble apologies" to the peer and his family.
In a statement on Friday evening, Mr Messham said: "After seeing a picture in the past hour of the individual concerned, this [is] not the person I identified by photograph presented to me by the police in the early 1990s, who told me the man in the photograph was Lord McAlpine."
