Earlier this month it was revealed that Warren – jailed for 13 years in 2009 following a failed drugs importation – had lodged a new appeal centring on the mysterious removal of a juror during his trial.

No further details were released but now the Court of Appeal’s written judgment on the application has revealed the series of events that prompted Warren’s defence team to make their move.
