Peter Sullivan has said he is “not angry” and “not bitter” after the Court of Appeal 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 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”.
