Man, 68, has conviction for murder quashed after spending 38 years in jail
The Sentinel
|May 14, 2025
PETER Sullivan has said he is “not angry” and “not bitter”, after the Court of Appeal yesterday quashed his murder conviction - making him the longest-serving victim of a miscarriage of justice in the UK.
-
The now 68-year-old, who was jailed in 1987 for the murder of Diane Sindall, a florist and part-time pub worker, and has since spent 38 years in prison, described what happened to him as “very wrong” but said the ruling did not “detract or minimise” a “heinous and most terrible loss of life”.
Mr Sullivan, from Liverpool, was aged 30 when he was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 16 years after being found guilty of the 1986 murder of 21-year-old Ms Sindall in Bebington, Merseyside. He has remained in prison for almost four decades.
