The worlds' longest serving death row inmate has been acquitted of a murder conviction from nearly 60 years ago.

Former boxer Iwao Hakamada was cleared on Thursday after a court in Japan held a retrial for the murder of his then-boss and the man's wife and two children. Now 88 and in delicate health, Hakamada was 30 when he was originally sentenced to death for the killing back in 1968.

His retrial was obtained 10 years ago following sufficient support and freed following 56 years on death row, and was declared innocent on Thursday. He was pictured leaving the court in Shizuoka, west of Tokyo, defiant alongside his 91-year-old sister Hideko.

Iwao Hakamada spent nearly half a century on death row after his 1968 conviction for the murder of his boss, the man's wife and two children. He was granted a retrial in 2014 after his lawyers argued that police fabricated key evidence.

Hakamada was released from prison then - but was not cleared of the charges due to Japans' slow justice system.
