"The attack was so vicious she passed out from strangulation. Her left cheekbone was fractured and left nipple partly severed from a bite. When she dragged herself into the road, sliding in and out of consciousness, people drove past ignoring her cries for help."
"Quinn was found guilty on Friday after a five-week trial at Manchester crown court, three years after Malkinson's rape conviction was quashed. A catalogue of official failure will now be examined by a judge-led public inquiry."
"Why was a man with previous convictions for raping a child who lived locally and was known to police not a person of interest at the time? Why did a police officer seemingly destroy vital evidence in 2016?"
In 2003, a young woman was attacked and raped in Salford, suffering severe injuries. Her attacker, Paul Quinn, evaded justice for nearly two decades while Andrew Malkinson was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for 17 years. Quinn was eventually found guilty after a trial, prompting a public inquiry into the failures of police and prosecutors. The inquiry will investigate missed opportunities to exonerate Malkinson and the handling of evidence, raising serious questions about the justice system's response to the case.
