After nearly 23 years of concealment, Paul Quinn was sentenced to 24 years in prison for the brutal rape of a young mother in Little Hulton, Salford. This case is marked by one of the UK's most significant miscarriages of justice, as Andrew Malkinson wrongfully served 17 years for the crime. Malkinson's conviction was quashed in July 2023 after DNA evidence linked Quinn to the crime scene, revealing a match that was overlooked for years. The investigation into Malkinson's wrongful conviction has led to a public inquiry and investigations into police misconduct, resulting in the resignation of two heads of the Criminal Cases Review Commission. During sentencing, Judge Mr. Justice Bright emphasized the extreme violence of the crime and commended the victim for her courage in returning to court. He stated that the victim is the true hero of the case, highlighting the severe impact on both her and Malkinson, who accused the police of a cover-up.
