Conviction quashed after 27 years!!!!!!


 


A man jailed for murdering a woman in 1979 has had his conviction quashed at the Court of Appeal after spending 27 years in prison.


Sean Hodgson was jailed for killing Teresa De Simone, 22, who was found strangled in her car in Southampton in December 1979.


Tests prove DNA from the scene was not his and police have reopened the case.


Mr Hodgson, now 57, is one of the longest-serving victims of a miscarriage of justice in the UK.

MULTAN, Pakistan - A Pakistani gang-rape victim who shunned custom and rose to global fame by speaking out about her case has defied another local taboo — she just got married.


Mukhtar Mai is now the second wife of Nasir Abbas Gabol, a police officer who was assigned to protect her as her case gained notoriety. He said she was reluctant to accept his offer and that he threatened suicide when she turned him down.


Mai was gang raped at the order of a tribal council in the eastern province of Punjab in 2002 to punish her family for her brother´s alleged affair with a woman from a higher-caste family. There were also allegations that the boy had been molested by members of the other family, and that the accusations of the affair were used to cover up the crime.

Not sure what I think about her being a "second wife" but I admire her courage in speaking out.

 shes 2 times lucky. first, talibs possibly havent heard of her. second, she was offered a marriage. most of raped girls, women simply commit suicide or got killed with the help of the family.

when i hear such things i doubt i live in XXI century.

 This is a terrible.  A seemingly innocuous accident at first which has this result.
