Man who has spent 38 years in jail for murder has conviction quashed | Sky News coverage

A man jailed for murder nearly 40 years ago has had his conviction quashed by the Court of Appeal, ending what's thought to be the longest-running miscarriage of justice in British history. Peter Sullivan was convicted of murdering Diane Sindall in Birkenhead in August 1986. The 21-year-old florist had been beaten and raped and left in an alleyway. Mr Sullivan, 68, had always maintained his innocence and new tests, ordered by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, revealed his DNA was not present on samples preserved at the time. #UKCourts #UKCrime #SkyNews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos:    / skynews   Follow us on Twitter:   / skynews   Like us on Facebook:   / skynews   Follow us on Instagram:   / skynews   Follow us on TikTok:   / skynews   For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-n...
