A long-awaited independent inquiry has identified at least 13 postmasters who may have taken their own lives in the wake of the Post Office Horizon scandal.

The probe’s chairman, retired judge Sir Wyn Williams, said he couldn’t make a definitive finding that there was a causal connection between the 13 people who died and Horizon, but he said he did not rule that out as a “real possibility”.
