Rapist convicted after 20 years

In a landmark case that has exposed one of Britain's most notorious miscarriages of justice, Paul Quinn has finally been brought to account for his crimes.

Andrew Malkinson, who was exonerated in 2023, spent nearly two decades behind bars while Quinn remained free.

Greater Manchester Police have issued an apology, admitting that failures in the initial investigation led to a 'terrible' outcome for both the victim and the wrongly accused.

The case has prompted urgent calls for a review of how the criminal justice system handles fresh evidence and DNA analysis.
