Man found guilty of rape after Andrew Malkinson served 17 years for his crime
DNA evidence linked Quinn to the attack after Malkinson served 17 years in prison for the same rape, prosecutors said.
- On Friday, Paul Quinn, 52, was found guilty of raping a 33-year-old mother-of-two in 2003, a case prosecutors described as "one of the worst" miscarriages of justice in UK history.
- Andrew Malkinson spent 17 years in prison after being wrongly convicted for the 2003 attack in 2004, finally cleared in 2023 after exposing "grave and repeated" police disclosure failures.
- A "speculative" DNA search in 2022 led to Quinn's identification after a profile matched the victim's vest top; five former officers are under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
- Assistant Chief Constable Steph Parker of Greater Manchester Police apologized to Malkinson, stating the force was "absolutely sorry" for handling the case and admitting witness identification had "real drawbacks."
- Judge Sarah Munro will chair a public inquiry into the Crown Prosecution Service and Criminal Cases Review Commission to investigate how a "catalogue of failures" occurred within the justice system.
