A person jailed for homicide practically 40 years in the past has had his conviction quashed by the Court of Appeal, ending what’s regarded as the longest-running miscarriage of justice in British historical past.
Peter Sullivan was convicted of murdering Diane Sindall in Birkenhead in August 1986. The 21-year-old florist had been overwhelmed and raped and left in an alleyway.
Mr Sullivan, 68, had all the time maintained his innocence and new exams, ordered by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, revealed his DNA was not current on samples preserved on the time.
