Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has cried while giving evidence to the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal.
She was hearing evidence related to a note left by Martin Griffiths, a former sub-postmaster who attempted to take his own life on 23 September 2013, having been accused of a £39,000 shortfall at his Cheshire branch.
He died in hospital weeks later.
Ms Vennells told the inquiry she is “so sorry that Mr Griffiths isn’t here today” – but acknowledges that sorry is a “shallow” response to this case.
