Wolfman' murderer jailed 38 years ago will have conviction reconsidered
Briefly

Peter Sullivan's case, involving the murder of florist Diane Sindall in 1986, is now under review by the Court of Appeal after nearly 40 years of incarceration. Concerns arise from conflicting DNA evidence and issues surrounding the analysis of bite marks, as well as the police's conduct during interviews with Sullivan. He has raised substantial questions regarding the fairness of his trial, especially the lack of legal representation at critical moments. The Criminal Cases Review Commission has intervened, now highlighting a DNA profile not matching Sullivan, bolstering the case for his wrongful conviction.
The case of Peter Sullivan, convicted for a 1986 murder, is being reconsidered due to new DNA evidence and concerns about the validity of previous analyses.
This could potentially be the UK's longest-running miscarriage of justice, with Sullivan, imprisoned for nearly four decades, seeking to overturn his conviction.
