Mahmood Mattan was born in 1923 and was a young man when he left his home in Hargeisa, in what later became Somaliland, to live in Cardiff in Wales. He settled in a community called Tiger Bay, worked as a seaman, got married and had three children. In 1952 he was accused of murdering Lily Volpert, a local businesswoman. He was found guilty and executed by hanging in prison.

For years Mahmood Mattan鈥檚 family maintained his innocence and his conviction was quashed in 1998. Last week, 70 years after Mahmood Mattan鈥檚 execution, South Wales police apologised and admitted the prosecution was "flawed".

In today鈥檚 Africa Daily, Victoria Uwonkunda has been finding out more about the life and death of Mahmood Mattan from Danielle Fahiya, the presenter/producer of a new 91热爆 podcast called Mattan: Injustice of a Hanged Man.
