Wrongfully Convicted: The Peter Sullivan Story - Part 2

In Part 2 of Wrongfully Convicted: The Peter Sullivan Story, True Criminals returns to one of the UK’s most disturbing miscarriages of justice.After serving 38 years in prison for the 1984 murder of schoolgirl Diane Sindall, Peter Sullivan has been officially exonerated, following a groundbreaking Y-STR DNA test that proved his innocence and led to his conviction being overturned.Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt and investigative journalist Helen Fospero speak exclusively to Sullivan’s solicitor, Sarah Myatt, who explains how this advanced forensic evidence changed the course of the case. The episode examines the impact of Parole Board protocols that delayed Sullivan’s release, and the moment he learned he was finally free.Now out of prison, Sullivan begins the difficult process of rebuilding his life in a world transformed over four decades. With his name cleared, the question remains: Who really killed Diane Sindall? The episode looks ahead to the ongoing cold case investigation, and whether the real killer has been free all along.Subscribe to True Criminals for powerful reporting, legal insight, and real-life stories of wrongful convictions, cold cases, and the UK criminal justice system.............................Share Your Thoughts and Questions:Connect with us via email at [email protected].
