A POSTMASTER has told how his wrongful conviction for stealing during the Horizon scandal "killed his mum with shame".
Rab Thomson, 65, revealed to a public inquiry how he was branded a thief in his local community and was driven to the brink of suicide.
The dad, who was wrongly accused of embezzlement, had his conviction overturned this year after a 20-year fight.
His hell was revealed after he penned a harrowing witness statement which was lodged with the Horizon inquiry this week.
