It Is Not Known Who’s Window Andrew Malkinson Smashed, Presumably Due To Anger Issues

‘He left school at sixteen and went to work in the docks. Usually it was cold, and the work was poorly paid, but it did allow him some independence. In 1983 he had to leave home. Phil threw him out after an argument about the amount of rent that he was paying. He was able to go and live with Gary Foreman, a school friend, and his father. The circle of friends to which he and Gary belonged also included Dave Tindall, whose house they would often go to at weekends to listen to Pink Floyd, Rory Gallagher and Led Zeppelin records.

1987: Andrew Strugnell’s Son, Andrew Junior, Was Born On The 27th January 1987

1987: Andrew Strugnell & His Partner Planned To Go To Australia Together To Live (Both Of His Partners Brothers Had Emigrated to Australia In Previous Years) But Andrew Would Need His Birth Certificate. He Did Not Have One So Went To The Registry Office Where He Discovered His Birth Was Not Registered On The Official Register Of Births

1987: Andrew Strugnell (Aged 21) Discovered His Father Phil Was His Step-Father Who Had Adopted Him & His Biological Father Was A Man Called Paul Malkinson. “I was pretty confused about all the secrecy” “and a little angry. But I also felt sorry for my Mum, for all the anguish she was clearly experiencing”

1987: Andrew Strugnell Learned His Biological Father Paul Malkinson Had Abandoned Him & Allegedly Travelled To The US, Sometime When Trish (Andrews Mother) Found Out She Was Pregnant

Trish Strugnell (Now Trish Hose) Lied To Her Oldest Son Andrew About His Biological Father. “Both my parents were very young” “and I do not blame either of them for events unfolding as they did”

‘A family by that name actually lived further down the street where Andrew and Jacqui (Pseudonym) were living. He composed a letter to them. “This was no easy task” he said, “writing to complete strangers on the off-chance that they could be related to you, and doing it in such a way so as not to cause offence, alarm or distress”. A few days later, there was a knock at the door. It was, as it turned out, his grandmother, Iris. “It was very emotional for all concerned”, he recalled. “In the weeks that followed, I went to visit and found out about that side of my family tree. Obviously, I had no prior knowledge about any of it. Iris was a strong-willed woman who was then in her seventies. She was very interested to learn about me. She told me that a Malkinson trait was stubbornness” (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

1990: Both Andrew Strugnell (Aged 24) & His Son’s Surnames Were Changed To Malkinson By Deedpoll

1990: Andrew Malkinson, Along With His Partner & Their Son, Flew To Nhulunbuy Where Andrew Was Met At The Airport By His Biological Father Paul Malkinson & Paul’s Wife Sue. “I know Paul must have found it difficult, me showing up” “but he dealt with it wonderfully. He was the father I’d always wanted, my real father, but this was tinged with the knowledge that he wasn’t there when I was growing up, so I was both incredibly happy and a bit sad at the same time”

1990: Paul Malkinson Got His Son Andrew Malkinson A Job As A Boat Hand Barramundi Fishing On The Arafura Sea On A Boat Named Dugong. However The Job Didn’t Last Long Because Apparently A Man Named Rudi “Teased” Andrew Malkinson & “Relations Became Very Strained” So Andrew Asked To Be Taken Off The Boat

‘A local pilot would fly Malkinson to Elcho Island the next day, and from there he’d get another light aircraft back to Gove. He phoned Jacqui and Paul to tell them he’d jumped ship; the trip hadn’t made a man of him. Paul wasn’t sympathetic. “Paul picked me up” “but hardly spoke to me on the drive back into town”(Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

1990: Around A Couple Of Months After Arriving In Australia, Andrew Malkinson, His Partner & Their Son Flew Back To England. Andrew Claimed When They Got Back They Were “Both Depressed” & “Started Arguing”. “Everything that happened was my fault” “After Australia, I had changed. I now had an insatiable appetite for travel”

1990: Andrew Malkinson Abandoned 3/4 Year Old Son, Similarly To How His Biological Father Had Abandoned Him & His Mother

Andrew Malkinson Stated To Emily Dugan During A 2021 Podcast, Referring To Abandoning His Son, He Was Apparently “Drinking (Alcohol) A Lot More Than” He “Should” & He “Couldn’t Really Handle It Anymore” He “Didn’t Have The Strength”

Andrew Malkinson Confirmed In 2023 He Had Not Seen Or Spoken To His Son’s Mother Since 1990

It Is Not Known If Or When Andrew Malkinson Stopped Drinking

‘He temporarily (as he thought) moved down south to look for work, but then got a phone call from Jacqui to say that she was now with his old friend Dave Tindall. “Which was a bit of a turn-up” said Malkinson, “but not a complete surprise”. There was no animosity to the break-up because Malkinson now no longer felt at home in England in any way. “I knew I did not belong and that I would go and find a better place to live. I went to Amsterdam again. I chatted in the Leidseplein with English lads who had just started to live and work there. It seemed an attractive option” He returned to Grimsby to visit Jacqui and Andy and his mum. Whilst there, he was attacked and beaten up in the street. As a crowd gathered, he was head-butted, shoved to the ground and kicked several times. The assailant was, Malkinson learned afterwards, out of his mind on steroids. He thought he’d been targeted, ironically, because he looked like an outsider who was new to the area. The hospital asked if he wanted to report the incident. He certainly did. The police took photographs of his injuries, but he heard nothing more. That was the last straw.
Soon he was on board a ferry to Rotterdam with a one-way ticket. He found out about a uitzendburo, or job agency, in the Hook of Holland, and from then on things got easier. He felt at ease in the country. He learnt the language, got his sofinummer (which enabled him to work legally), paid his taxes, had Dutch medical care and eventually got on to Amsterdam’s housing list. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

1995 ‘…Karin Schuitemaker showed up at the Hook. She was, like him, a committed traveller with adventure stories of her own, and they hit it off straightaway. “It was me who learned so much from her” said Malkinson, “we could talk each other’s ears off, as she was fond of saying”. Karin found him, “sweet, honest, a little naive, not very good at judging people, but good fun … he was curious about new cultures and liked being adventurous and exploring”. With winter coming on, she suggested they go to the north, to Medemblik, where she’d been born, on the shore of the IJsselmeer, the largest lake in Western Europe. They could get seasonal work picking and packaging lilies. It was night-work, but they were saving for a trip to the Far East. In March they flew to Bangkok and travelled overland from there. At the southern point of Malaysia, they took the causeway to Singapore. They knew from their Lonely Planet guides that Pelni ships went from there to all parts of Indonesia. They went due south to the Riau Archipelago and at Bintan Island caught a converted Japanese trawler bound for Surabaya. From there they headed on to Bali where they passed long and enjoyable hours in the Sari Club, which seemed a wonderful place to drink and meet people of all nationalities. The relationship with Karin ended in 2000, but they stayed in touch. The next year Malkinson decided to go back to Thailand. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

2001: ‘As he and Karin had previously done, he travelled through the beautiful coastline around Phang Nga, in the southern peninsula. While there he foolishly walked into the jungle wearing only sandals and shorts. He felt a couple of sharp needle-pricks in his right foot, causing him a sharp jolt of pain. By the evening, he was running a high fever and a boat was needed to take him to hospital in Krabi. When he was sufficiently recovered, three days later, they cut open his foot. Thick whitish-yellow pus was drained out – though he never did find out what had stung him. He had no travel insurance. By the time he’d paid for a week’s hospital bills, he had no money left. He went to the international community of travellers around Phuket, hoping to find work but, as it was out of season, that proved difficult. Fortunately, a Japanese woman gave him $200 for his flight home to Holland. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

2001: Andrew Malkinson Again Travelled To Phuket, Thailand Where This Time He Committed Passport Fraud & Ended Up In “The Monkey House” (As He Referred To Ot During A 2021 Podcast) & Was Imprisoned For Apparently 6 Months

‘While trying to get casual work in order to stay on in the country, he was introduced to ‘James’, a Chinese-Singaporean man in his mid-twenties, who promised to get him what Malkinson understood to be hotel work. ‘James’ asked for his passport and two photographs, which he said were needed to employ him. Malkinson was suckered in; it turned out that his identity had been stolen and used for a credit-card fraud. A week later, he was arrested. He received a six-month sentence for the passport offence. It was clear that the authorities regarded ‘James’ as their main target; he received a much longer sentence. Malkinson was brought before the chief of the local police station who asked if he had any money. Obviously, Malkinson didn’t. ‘Ha, ha, then you go to monkey house’, he said. James, of course, did have money. He was soon free. ‘On several occasions, the guards used their coshes to mete out their own forms of punishment to those infringing the rules. They bedded down in a huge cell holding about 150 people. The floor was concrete, though prisoners could wrap a towel round themselves if they were lucky enough to buy or scrounge one. They had to shower with filtered water from a large concrete vat using plastic bowls. It was generally believed this caused the painful ulcers that were even more painfully lanced with a scalpel. Malkinson also suffered a few bouts of jungle fever. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

“As time went on, I thought less and less about England”, he reflected. “I had a ‘rolling stone’ life. The work you are doing is generally seasonal, so you’re always looking to move on. ‘You have your freedom but little else. Sometimes people are envious when you tell them of your travels, as though you’ve had more advantages in life than they have. But you aren’t staying at the Ritz. More likely, you’ve paid a few dollars for a stinking hell-hole down the Khao San Road in Bangkok. The advantage is that there isn’t time for things to go stale. You are always meeting new people and facing fresh challenges. Some might find it an insecure lifestyle, but it suited me. I left Amsterdam on 16 May 2003 with a return ticket to Gran Canaria. At that point, England to all intents and purposes did not exist for me anymore. In an ironic way what has happened has completely vindicated my reasons for leaving” (Excerpts from a letter written by Andrew Malkinson to Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

‘Khao San Road Never Sleeps (and neither will you). Sleep is a luxury for travelers, right? It certainly seems to be in this area. People come to Khao San Road to party, not to get their beauty sleep. Especially if you’re staying in a dormitory, expect people drunkenly entering at 4am, switching on the lights and messing up the lyrics to last year’s Billboard 100 hits’ (Read more here)

The Following Are Statements Made By Andrew Malkinson During An October 2021 Podcast (Part 3) With Emily Dugan About His Time In Prison. It Is Not Clear If He Is Referring To The Thai Prison Or The UK ~”Arh horrific, I was terrified of course. You was in jail with all life sentence prisoners. Murderers, child molesters, rapists and gangsters, really dangerous people you know. And I was, I was really scared. Prisons are dirty, they’re not clean. They mop the floors now and again but the mops are black. Lots of noise, smells, unwashed bodies. You never get used to it, at least I didn’t”

‘Ironically, he’d taken the precaution of carrying everything with him, thinking it safer not to leave things in the apartment. He was destitute. He tried desperately to find work, but it was early in the season, and none was available. He had to sleep on the beach. He could have asked friends in Holland to help him out or he could have asked his mother; but immediately to hand were those contact details for the Garnhams (Jonathan & Deborah Hardman). He took the fatal step of telephoning them. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

11th June 2003: The Hardman’s Picked Andrew Malkinson Up From Leeds-Bradford Airport

‘They sent him through the air-fare and, on 11 June, picked him up at Leeds-Bradford airport. He was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. John Garnham (Hardman) said he could sleep on the sofa at their home in Manchester. Malkinson had never been to Manchester before. He envisaged getting a job for a few weeks to pay them back, visiting his mother and a few old friends in Grimsby, and then returning to Holland. Straightaway, Malkinson noticed a change in the Garnhams’ (Hardman’s) demeanour. Whereas on holiday, they’d been overly friendly, now, on their home ground, they were off-hand and even unpleasant. Malkinson soon realised he couldn’t believe a word they told him. They clearly lived a semi-criminal, if not entirely criminal, lifestyle and were well known to local police. On 14 June, he was out with Neil on his motorcycle, having been to the local shops, when they were stopped by community beat officers. “There were four of them in an unmarked car”, remembered Malkinson. “One of them was gesticulating for us to stop. It was as though they had been waiting there. Of course, they knew Neil – they were on first-name terms”. The police asked Malkinson for personal details – name and date-of-birth – which he provided and they checked (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

Monday 16th June 2003 (Approx): Andrew Malkinson Got A Temporary Job Working As A Security Guard At Ellesmere Shopping Centre, Walkden

‘He started work as a security guard at the Ellesmere Centre, the local shopping mall, in Bolton. The work was mainly dealing with shoplifters and trouble-makers and wasn’t at all to his liking. Nevertheless, it was only short-term. When his boss found out where he was staying, however, he strongly urged him to move away, pointing out that the Garnhams (Hardman’s) were very bad news locally. One of John’s friends, Roy, turned up regularly at the house. “They thought he was great because he was violent”, said Malkinson. “One day, they were talking, and John said to him, in front of me, that I’d been to prison in Thailand and didn’t mind going to prison. ‘I found all this really disturbing. I was in a rough place and didn’t know anyone. I was wondering what I’d let myself in for, and kicking myself for trusting these people” (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

Friday 4th July 2003: ‘..Malkinson picked up his few possessions and left. He hadn’t told his hosts, fearing they might turn nasty. He went to stay with a colleague, Simon Oakes. As far as he was concerned, he’d got out just in time; the Garnhams (Hardman’s) were throwing a party that weekend, and he didn’t like the sound of it (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

Friday 18th July 2003: ‘… was one of the hottest days of the year. After finishing work at about 2.00pm, Andrea Prestwood (Pseudonym 4 VICTIM) drove over to her boyfriend’s parents’ house in Atherton, on the north-west outskirts of Manchester, and spent most of the day there. At about 7.40, she went to Bargain Booze in Atherton to stock up with alcohol. When she returned, she and her boyfriend, Dave Houghton , together with a couple of friends, started to enjoy the evening. Houghton’s parents later joined them and the drinking carried on into the small hours. At 1.30am, the weather was still so warm that they had a water-fight in the garden (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

19th July 2003: VICTIM Violently Attacked & Raped By Man Wearing Clothing & Footwear Like Security Guard Andrew Malkinson Wore For Work

‘In theory, Prestwood’s own identification of Malkinson should have been the crux of the case; in practice, much of what she said in her statement had already ruled him out. There were, most strikingly, the clothes. All three witnesses were in agreement about what the man was wearing. He was wearing, said Prestwood, ‘smart’ black trousers; ‘smart’ black shoes, ‘like you wear to get into a club’; and a ‘very smart’ unbuttoned white shirt. Those who knew him were unanimous about the kind of clothing that Malkinson wore; casual would have been the polite term. When he was arrested, all his clothing was taken for examination. This would not have taken long. He had arrived in the UK in T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. His wardrobe was not extensive. The few items that he possessed did not include a white shirt or black trousers or black shoes. He was not looking to go clubbing. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

Andrew Malkinson Stated In 2022 That He Also Wore A Tie To Work As A Temporary Security Guard At Ellesmere Shopping Centre “The night of the attack, which was the 19th July, I was, it was just another day. I was asleep, staying at a fellow security guard’s place for the last week or two, and that was it. It was just another day. I went to work, I did a full day. It was the middle of the 2003 heatwave. I remember that, it was really hot and I was walking around a busy shopping centre looking for shoplifters and that kind of thing, with a heavy stab-proof vest. I had to wear a tie even though it was roasting hot, you know, so it was just an exhausting job. At the end of the day, I went home and drank a few beers and I was lights” (Source Here)

24th July 2003: Article headed ‘Police hope for e-fit of rapist’ by Bolton news

Detective’s were today interviewing a woman recovering from a brutal rape in a bid to draw up an e-fit image of her attacker.

She has received counselling from trained officers and was today hoping to describe her attacker to detectives for them to compile an artist’s impression.

Detectives have said they were pleased with an initial response from the public, but today repeated a plea for anyone with information to contact them.

The man is described as aged in his early to mid 30s with tanned skin.

He is around 5ft 8ins tall, of medium build with a flat stomach and defined chest muscles. He was clean shaven with dark brown or black hair, which was thick and wavy.

He spoke with a Bolton accent and was wearing dark trousers and a white shirt with a collar.

He is believed to be covered with small, bright red insect bites similar to measles.

Excerpts from a Bolton news article headed Police hope for e-fit of rapist dated 24th July 2003

24th July 2003: ‘Five days later, on Thursday 24 July, John and Angie Garnham (Jonathan & Deborah Hardman) turned up at the Ellesmere Centre demanding money from Malkinson. By then, he had given them back the air-fare, paid them rent and also paid for shopping trips to Tesco, but they wanted more. They blamed him for smoke damage in the kitchen caused when a toaster failed to switch itself off. Also, after an evening’s drinking, he had urinated in his sleep. The Garnhams had demanded £200 for damage to the settee; Malkinson offered £50. In view of their demeanour, Malkinson contacted the police. The next day, Friday, an officer called at the house to take a statement, but told him it was unlikely that the matter would be taken further. That was the day that Malkinson received his wages and left the job. The next morning, Saturday 26 July, he caught a train to Grimsby, relieved to be putting all the unpleasantness he associated with Manchester behind him (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

‘There was evidence from John and Angie Garnham (Deborah Hardman). They said Malkinson was restless and active at nights. Angie Garnham added that he ‘didn’t have a single hair on his chest’. Shown holiday photographs from the Canary Islands which proved that Malkinson’s chest was hairy, Angie retorted that it didn’t look hairy to her. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

‘No doubt aware that the ‘local accent’ was a significant advantage for the defence, John Garnham (Jonathan Hardman) said that Malkinson’s accent ‘sometimes sounded as if he came from Bolton’. He added that his accent ‘could vary from Dutch to Australian to Bolton’. The prosecution had to concede that their witnesses were not exactly upstanding members of the community; Garnham had convictions for threatening behaviour, and both of them had convictions for offences of dishonesty. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

’One theory about the case is that the Garnhams (The Hardman’s) may have been police informers themselves; habitual criminals often are. They and Malkinson had parted on unfriendly terms, and the Garnhams’ animus against him can only have intensified after he called in the police over their threatening behaviour towards him. After Malkinson had left the area, they perhaps took the opportunity to make his life a little more difficult by mentioning his name to police as someone who had latterly arrived in the country and who had suddenly and conveniently, or so they could have hinted, disappeared.

29th July 2003: E-Fit Released Via Media

29th July 2003: Media Article Headed ‘Rape Victim Lost Consciousness’

Detectives have released an e-fit of a man who raped a woman after strangling her until she lost consciousness.

Police said on Tuesday they have received very little information from the public since the attack early on 19 July.

The woman was left with severe cuts and bruises by the attacker, who dragged her into bushes close to the M61 motorway in Greater Manchester.

Officers said the 33-year-old mother-of-two was walking along Cleggs Lane, Little Hulton, at 0430 BST, when the man approached her from behind.

Detective Inspector Steve Bell said the e-fit is a very good likeness to the attacker, according to the victim.

He said: “Since the start of this investigation we have had very little information put forward by members of the public. I am hoping someone may recognise this man.

“This man would have come home in the early hours of Saturday morning with a scratch on the right side of his face and neck.

“This woman has been exceptionally brave and has shown great strength and courage by going through the events of that morning with us. 

“I want to ensure that [this man] is not able to commit any similar attacks.”

The man is olive-skinned, in his early to mid-30s, and of medium build.

He has a flat stomach and defined chest muscles. He had a shiny hairless chest, was clean-shaven and spoke with a Bolton accent.

He was wearing dark trousers and a white shirt with a collar, which he wore unbuttoned.

Witnesses or those with information about the attacker should contact Salford CID or ring Crimestoppers.

3rd August (1:00am): VICTIM Identified Andrew Malkinson In A Photo Identification

‘A video identification parade was arranged at Salford Crescent Police Station. It took place at one o’clock in the morning of Sunday 3 August. Prestwood and Carson (pseudonyms) were picked up and taken together, in the same car, to the station. Malkinson had been arrested in Grimsby about sixteen hours earlier, on Saturday morning, and then taken to Manchester. In a video parade witnesses have to choose not between actual people, but between photographs. Prestwood selected No.4 (who was Malkinson) as her attacker; Carson picked out one of the others, No.1. Five months later, on 14 January 2004, Fentham was picked up and taken to Little Hulton Police Station where a second video parade was held. This time, Malkinson’s photograph was No.6. Fentham picked him out’ (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

A man was remanded in custody charged with the rape and attempted murder of a mother-of-two from Kearsley.

Andrew Malkinson, aged 37, showed no emotion as he stood in the dock at Salford Magistrates’ Court.

Flanked by two prison officers, Malkinson, originally from Brighowgate, Grimsby, looked straight ahead throughout the brief court hearing yesterday. His handcuffs were removed after an application.

He wore black jeans and a black T-shirt, and spoke only to confirm his name and address.

Malkinson, a former security guard, was arrested in Grimsby by detectives investigating the rape on Saturday afternoon. He was questioned, and then charged on Sunday.

The woman was allegedly attacked as she walked home from a friend’s housein Cleggs Lane, Little Hulton, two weeks ago.

The court heard that she has received counselling from female police officers.

There were no applications for bail and Malkinson was remanded in custody.

Malkinson is due to appear at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday, August 13.

3rd February 2004: ‘Rape victim: I begged for my life’

A mother of two begged for her life when she thought a rapist was going to kill her

The 33-year-old from Kearsley was then strangled unconscious, raped and left for dead after being dragged down a motorway embankment by her attacker.

Fighting back the tears as she gave evidence, the woman told a jury:

“I said to him, ‘please don’t hurt me, I have got two young babies”

At Manchester Crown Court, Andrew Malkinson, aged 38, a security officer at a Walkden shopping precinct, denies rape and attempted murder.

Michael Leeming, prosecuting, said the woman was attacked in Cleggs Lane on the border of Bolton and Little Hulton early on July 19, last year.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was attacked as she was walking home after a row with her boyfriend at his Atherton home.

Mr Leeming told the court she was “easy prey” and was “deliberately targeted” by her attacker.

The court was told the woman saw her attacker’s face and later picked Malkinson out of a police identification line-up.

The woman told the court that she had been drinking at her boyfriend’s house but the couple had a row and at 2.30am she decided to walk home.

But Mr Leeming said she began to feel scared and, despite her boyfriend urging her to return to his house in a series of mobile phone calls, she decided to find bushes to shelter under until daybreak.

But, the court heard, it began to rain and she decided to keep on walking.

Giving evidence, the woman described the route she took home and how, in Armitage Avenue, Little Hulton, she heard a voice coming from bushes.

She told the jury:

“I heard a voice say ‘I suggest you come into the bushes because I have got a gun pointed at your head’. But I could not see anyone.”

The woman said she shouted out and said she would phone the police.

She added:

“I started walking faster then reached some houses.

There was a gentleman behind me walking on his own with his shirt open.

“I got a bit frightened but you never think something is going to happen to you”

She then reached Cleggs Lane bridge, the court heard.

She went on:

“I heard a few footsteps. Before I could do anything I felt this force from behind. Somebody had grabbed hold of me and pushed me.”

She broke down in tears as she relived her ordeal and told how she desperately tried to scramble up the steep banking and how she tried to fight off her attacker.

The court heard the attacker pressed his thumbs on to her neck and began to squeeze.

“He was stronger than me and I could not get him off”

she said.

“He pressed harder and harder.

I was panicking and knew I was in trouble.

I knew there was no hope.

I was a gonna and that was it.

I could do nothing about it.

I remember going unconscious and then waking up”

She managed to scramble to safety and raise the alarm with a man walking his dog.

The woman suffered severe facial bruising and a fractured cheekbone.

Malkinson, who was staying at a friend’s house in Atherton at the time the woman was attacked, was arrested in Grimsby 14 days later, the court heard. He has lived in Hull, Grimsby and Holland.

The court heard he “categorically” denied the accusations in police interviews and said it is a case of “mistaken identity.”

7th February 2004: ‘I’m Not The Rapist Trial Told’

A man accused of a vicious rape on a motorway embankment told a jury: “I was not the attacker.”

Former security guard Andrew Malkinson claims he is a victim of mistaken identity.

He told Manchester Crown Court yesterday he was asleep in bed at the time of the rape last summer.

The victim, a 33-year-old Kearsley woman, was dragged on to an embankment by the M61, raped, strangled and left for dead in the early hours of July 19, 2003.

She was walking home after a row with her boyfriend when she was attacked in Cleggs Lane on the border of Bolton and Little Huton.

She was strangled until she was unconscious. When she came round, she ran to the nearest road to get help.

Malkinson, aged 38, of Grimsby, who was staying with a colleague at Aspinall Court, Atherton, at the time, said he had drunk beer on his own and gone to bed at around 10pm on the night of the attack.

Asked how the victim had come to pick him out at an identity parade, he said: “I say it was a case of mistaken identity”

The jury heard that Malkinson had been staying at a house in Walkden belonging to a couple he had befriended while on holiday in Gran Canaria for three weeks, before moving out two weeks before the attack.

Malkinson told the court he had moved out of the house in Kingsley Road after his relationship with the couple had become strained.

After spending two weeks at colleague Simon Oakes’s flat in Atherton, he returned to see his family in Grimsby and was arrested on August 2.

Malkinson insisted that was the first he had heard of the attack, and denied he had been the man spotted by witnesses near to the scene of the attack at 4.30am in the morning.

Although the witnesses told the court earlier this week that the man had a distinctively shiny chest, Jeffrey Samuels, defending, showed the court photographs of Malkinson on holiday in May which showed he had “established chest hair”.

Malkinson, who had been living in Holland for around 10 years, also denied that he had ever visited the scene of the attack during his short stay in the area.

He denied wearing dark boots similar to those the attacker was seen in, but admitted he had similar footwear for his job as a security guard at the Ellesmere Shopping Centre in Walkden.

Michael Leeming, prosecuting, said:

“Mr Malkinson, I suggest you had the opportunity to commit this attack on this woman.

You lived in the locality and you were on your own at the relevant time“

Malkinson replied:

“I suppose I had the opportunity”

Mr Leaming went on:

“You are a man who is physically fit and could have overwhelmed this woman. I suggest the witnesses have got it right. You must have thought you had got away with it”

Malkinson said: “I was not the attacker.”

Bolton news article headed I’m not the rapist, trial told dated 7th February 2004

Excerpt From Judge Michael Henshell’s Summing Up: “Does she really remember scratching the right side of the face of her attacker with her left hand? At the end of her evidence, she said that the scratch which she thought she had inflicted was the only time she had touched him and she said this, that it was the last lash-out as she was being strangled; it was the last thing she did before she became unconscious. If she may have scratched the attacker, then the person responsible for the attack cannot be the defendant. If, after examining all of the evidence, you are sure that she is mistaken on this detail, then you may safely exclude it, but notice the words I use. If and only if you are sure she is mistaken on that detail may you safely exclude it”

10th Feb 2004: Andrew Malkinson Found Guilty Of Two Counts Of Rape & One Count Of “..attempting to choke, asphyxiate or strangle the woman with the intent to rape her”

10th Feb 2004: ‘Rapist ‘monster’ faces life sentence’

A RAPIST described by a judge as a “sexual predator” faces a life sentence for attacking and strangling a Kearsley mother-of-two.

Andrew Malkinson, aged 38, was found guilty of raping the 33-year-old woman as she walked home alone through Little Hulton following a row with her boyfriend.

The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was dragged down a motorway embankment off Cleggs Lane, strangled until she was unconscious, raped, and then left for dead.

Judge Michael Henshell said: “The attacker was a sexual predator and the only appropriate sentence is that of life imprisonment.

“The evidence has revealed that she was stalked two thirds of a mile along a deserted road before she was raped and mercilessly beaten.”

The victim broke down in tears as the guilty verdict was returned yesterday and whoops of joy came from her friends and family in the public gallery, who stayed with her throughout the seven-day trial at Manchester Crown Court. In a statement outside court, the rape victim described Malkinson as a “monster.”

She added: “I’m so glad this man is to be locked away. My only regret is that he will not be locked away forever.”

Det Insp Steve Bell, who led the investigation, today praised the victim’s courage.

Det Insp Bell added: “She was left with horrific injuries and could easily have died. It is through sheer determination that she managed to survive and help us bring Malkinson to justice.

“I cannot praise her enough for her bravery and courage. Due to the lack of DNA evidence the officers who worked on this case had to rely on old-fashioned police work to catch Malkinson.”

The jury spent nine hours deliberating their verdict over two days.

Malkinson was acquitted of attempted murder but was found guilty of attempting to choke, asphyxiate or strangle the woman with the intent to rape her.

He will be sentenced in six weeks time, after psychiatric reports have been compiled.

The woman told the jury how she thought she was going to die at the hands of Malkinson.

She revealed how she desperately fought with him and scratched his face.

But he overpowered her, strangled her until she fell unconscious then raped her.

She managed to scramble up the bank and raised the alarm with a dog walker.

She suffered a broken bone in her neck, a fractured cheekbone, severe cuts and bruising and a swollen eye.

Malkinson, who was born in Grimsby, had lived in Holland for 10 years.

He moved to Walkden just a few weeks before the attack last June with a family he had met in Gran Canaria.

They befriended him and shortly after they flew home, he told them he was flying to Tenerife to look for work.

He later called them to say he had been robbed and had no money. He asked if he could stay with them. He moved in and took a job as a security guard at the Ellesmere Shopping Centre, Walkden.

After a few weeks, he moved out to stay with a colleague in Aspinall Court, Atherton.

Shortly after attacking the woman, he told his friend he was returning to Holland. His friend dropped him off at Manchester Airport, but he never left the country.

He was arrested in Grimsby on August 2 and later charged.

Officers had followed a lead given to them by Little Hulton community officers PCs Christopher Baybutt and Gary Waite – who the judge commended for their part in the conviction.

Following Malkinson’s arrest the victim and two other witnesses, who had seen the woman being followed by a man shortly before the attack, picked him out of a police identity parade.

2004: Andrew Malkinson Was Tranferred From HMP Strangeways To High Security (Category A) HMP Frankland In Brasside, County Durham

8th March 2004: ‘..the senior forensic scientist on whose work the case depended wrote to the authorities. According to his letter: A problem has recently emerged … As such the previously-reported results in relation to the possible presence of condom lubricants on the intimate swabs are now regarded as unreliable. (Italics added) The Forensic Science Service had found traces of the material PDMS, the presence of which indicated (or so they had claimed) the use of a condom, in the swabs themselves. So the entire test procedure was invalid. The tests proved nothing. The trial judge then used the rare procedure of issuing a certificate indicating that the case was fit for appeal; in other words, he effectively sent it to appeal himself. He wrote: In light of the letter of 8 March from [the forensic scientist] disclosing his previous findings of the presence of condom lubricants on the vaginal and anal swabs as unreliable (which evidence was unchallenged at trial and upon which penile penetration was inferred), the convictions on the counts of rape may consequently be rendered unsafe. However, while the action of the scientist in reporting this may on the surface have appeared punctilious and highly commendable, in fact it was anything but. This was because the Forensic Science Service had discovered the problem, and so known that these tests were invalid, some months before the case went to trial. On 17 October 2003, the FSS circulated an internal memo, saying: We have withdrawn use of this test from casework They added: We have informed all FSS staff, the CPS and other suppliers of forensic science services in the UK of the issue.At trial, the Crown’s only explanation of the complete lack of scientific evidence was that Malkinson was ‘forensically aware’. By deploying this argument, the CPS was able to portray Malkinson as an experienced sexual predator who was used to stalking women – as was demonstrated by his cleverness in using a condom. But by the time the case was heard at court, both the CPS and the FSS already knew that the trial was predicated on unreliable evidence. The senior scientist was either negligent or dishonest in giving sworn evidence about the tests; and he was also conveying an erroneous impression by telling the judge after the trial that the tests ‘are now regarded as unreliable’. There is a second point of great significance to emerge from his letter of 8 March. He refers to: … the previously reported results in relation to the *possible presence* of condom lubricants … (italics added) This does not appear to have been the evidence that he gave at trial. The judge told the jury that this scientist’s evidence: … was that traces of condom lubricant were found in both the vagina and the anus … (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

May 2004: ‘Sentence on rapist slammed by couple’ Deborah & Jonathan Hardman

Deborah and Jonathan Hardman put rapist Andrew Malkinson up in their home for a few weeks before he attacked a 33-year-old woman from Kearsley.

They had met him on holiday in Gran Canaria.

And, as Malkinson is starting a life sentence for raping and trying to choke a mother-of-two, Mrs Hardman said:

“We were looking for life and he has got it, but it’s ridiculous that he might only serve seven years. That’s nothing.

“It terrifies me to think that he had been living in my house with my three daughters”

Malkinson, who was born in Grimsby, had lived in Holland for 10 years.

He moved to Walkden just a few weeks before the attack after meeting the Hardmans on holiday.

They befriended him and shortly after they flew home, he told them he was flying to Tenerife to look for work.

He later called them to say he had been robbed and had no money.

He asked if he could stay with them.

He moved in and took a job as a security guard at the Ellesmere Shopping Centre, Walkden.

After a few weeks, he moved out to stay with a colleague in Aspinall Court, Atherton.

Shortly after attacking the woman, he told his friend he was returning to Holland.

His friend dropped him off at Manchester Airport, but he never left the country.

He was arrested in Grimsby on August 2, two weeks after the attack, and later charged.

Officers had followed a lead given to them by Little Hulton community officers PCs Christopher Baybutt and Gary Waite — whom the judge commended for their part in the conviction.

Following Malkinson’s arrest the victim and two other witnesses, who had seen the woman being followed by a man shortly before the attack, picked him out of a police identity parade.

13th August 2004: ‘Rapist facing life in prison’

A security guard and former amateur boxer has been warned he could get a life sentence for the rape of a mother of two. Andrew Malkinson, 37, throttled his victim until she lost consciousness as she begged for her life.

Andrew Malkinson, 37, throttled his victim until she lost consciousness as she begged for her life, saying she had two babies. 

He then raped her and left her for dead with appalling injuries on an embankment next to the M61 at Little Hulton, Salford.

The 33-year-old woman had severe bruising to her face, a fractured cheekbone, an injury to her voice box, and a laceration to her breast.

But she had warned her attacker as he strangled her that she would never forget his face, and she picked him out in an identity parade.

Malkinson, who is originally from Grimsby but had been living in a flat close to where the woman was attacked, was found guilty of two counts of rape and attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle with intent to commit rape. 

He was found not guilty of attempted murder after a jury at Manchester Crown Court spent nine hours considering their verdicts.

His victim shouted “yes” and wept as the guilty verdicts were given.

She later said: “I’m so glad this monster is locked away. My only regret is that he isn’t locked away forever. I would like to thank the judge and jury for recognising the truth, and all the people involved with this case, especially the witnesses for their courage and most of all CID for their emotional support and their hard work.”

Malkinson had denied all the charges and claimed it was a case of mistaken identity.

The court heard his victim had been to a family barbecue one night in July, but decided to walk home after a row with her boyfriend.

At about 4.30am she was walking along a road in Little Hulton, when Malkinson shouted from bushes:

“I suggest you come into the bushes – I have a gun pointing towards you.”

She carried on walking but Malkinson followed her to Cleggs Lane where he grabbed her and forced her down an embankment next to the motorway.

Judge Michael Henshell told Malkinson that his actions were those of a sexual predator and as he was considering a life sentence he wanted to adjourn sentencing for psychiatric reports to be prepared.

He said the evidence was that Malkinson had stalked the victim for two thirds of a mile along a deserted road and that he was in possession of a condom. He added:

“After being raped she was mercilessly beaten. There is a duty that requires me to protect the public from sexual predators.”

Malkinson will be sentenced on March 23. The judge ordered that his name stay on the Sex Offenders Register for the rest of his life.

Detective Inspector Steve Bell, of Salford CID, said:

“Malkinson is a very dangerous man. The victim was left with horrific injuries and could easily have died. It is through sheer determination that she managed to survive and help us bring Malkinson to justice.

“I cannot praise her enough for the bravery and courage she has shown. She worked with officers, re-living the attack to help us build up an accurate description of the offender.”

13th August 2004: ‘Strange drifter who covered his tracks’

ODDBALL drifter Andrew Malkinson was careful not to leave any forensic clues for detectives.

But he was caught by old-fashioned policing, the victim’s strikingly accurate description of her attacker, and his strange behaviour.

By chance, four weeks before Malkinson committed the vicious rape, he was riding pillion on an off-road motorbike which was stopped by Little Hulton community beat officers, Pc Gary Waite and Pc Christopher Baybutt.

They warned the rider not to use the machine on the road and took his details and Malkinson’s. At the time Malkinson was working as a security guard at the Ellesmere Shopping Centre, in Walkden.

A month later an E-fit of the man who committed the Little Hulton rape and his description were circulated to local officers. 

The two Pcs – who have been recommended for a commendation by Judge Michael Henshell – realised the remarkable similarity to Malkinson and alerted senior officers that they had a suspect.

Two weeks later, after gathering further information, police went to arrest Malkinson but he had left his flat.

He had been driven to Manchester Airport by a colleague after claiming he intended to return to Holland where he had lived for several years.

He never got a flight and detectives suspected he was laying a false trail for them.

When interviewed Malkinson said he had simply changed his mind as no standby flights were available and he returned to his home town of Grimsby.

There he went to a job centre and told staff where he had worked previously. 

They checked with the Walkden shopping mall, whose managers tipped off police that Malkinson was in Grimsby. He was arrested at a Salvation Army hostel there.

Malkinson, who had lived in Holland and spent time in Australia and Thailand, had been looking for work in the Canary Islands before coming to Salford.

He met a family from Walkden on Gran Canaria, and they befriended him and later sent him £75 to fly to the UK after he told them he had been robbed and was sleeping on a beach.

The Walkden family later told police that while staying with them, Malkinson had walked around naked and read a book about the SAS, which included a chapter on how to kill people.

Malkin pressed his thumbs against the windpipe of his victim until she passed out.

When quizzed by police about the book – which he left behind in the Canary Islands – he laughed off the suggestion that there was a chapter about killing, saying it was just a survival book.

21st April 2005: Jason Waine Reported To Have Died (Source here)

July 2006: ‘So when the case was heard at appeal, the judges were given limited information about these tests, and were unaware of the full background. They heard fresh testimony from Prestwood herself, and described her evidence as ‘convincing’. They then said they were satisfied that the conviction was sound and, in July 2006, dismissed the appeal. They said they were satisfied with the scientific evidence they had heard: Subsequent examination of her knickers revealed the presence of oil ‘as used in condom lubricants’. These forensic examinations are not compromised by contamination. Yet this part of their judgment not only ignores the ubiquity of these oils in the environment, but is wrong anyway. During the forensic science work done prior to trial, the swabs were in contact with the knickers. Professor Allan Jamieson, of the Forensic Institute in Glasgow, wrote: The results are compromised by contamination. There is no other conclusion. The fact that the swabs in the lab used to test the knickers had upon them the very substance being sought is evidence of that. The fact that another round of tests did not use swabs is irrelevant; the damage had been done. So the Forensic Science Service had misled the court both at trial and appeal. However, the appeal court judges had the wool pulled over their eyes in a far more fundamental way. The argument deployed at appeal was that the woman had been sexually assaulted by an attacker wearing a condom, and she had afterwards resumed wearing her knickers, which was how they came to be contaminated with the condom oils. (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

Andrew Malkinson’s VICTIM Gave Further Evidence To The Appeal Court. The Three Judges Described Her Evidence As “Convincing”

11th July 2006: ‘Rapist loses fight to cut life term’

A rapist who tried to strangle a woman and left her for dead on a motorway embankment has lost his fight to have his conviction quashed or his life sentence reduced.

London’s Criminal Appeal Court ruled that Andrew Malkinson’s conviction was “safe”.

And they refused him permission to challenge his life sentence or the minimum term he must serve.

His appeal against conviction primarily related to fresh scientific evidence.

Since his trial, it had been discovered that swabs used to take samples from the woman may have been contaminated.

At the Criminal Appeal Coutt, Lord Justice Gage, sitting with Mr Justice Bean and Judge John Griffith Williams, said he was “quite satisfied” the convictions were safe.

“We have no doubt that, if the jury had this fresh evidence before them, it would have reached the same verdicts,” he said.

In relation to Malkinson’s sentence, Lord Justice Gage noted the contents of a report by a psychiatrist, which said the man who committed the attack posed a high risk of harm to the public, given the nature and severity of the assault.

Lord Justice Gage said:

“In our judgment, the judge was right to conclude, as he did, that this was one of the most serious cases of this kind.

“He was entirely right to conclude the criteria for a life sentence are satisfied”

5th Sept 2014: In An Article Headed “Legal Eagles From America Coming Here” Emily Bolton, Who Went On To Become Andrew Malkinson’s Solicitor, Was Said To Be “Intending To Address Injustice In The UK”

The New Orleans project alone has secured 22 exonerations.

Now its founder, a British lawyer responsible for Mr Duncan’s acquittal, Emily Bolton, has launched a new non-profit organisation to bring the American model of miscarriage of justice investigations to Britain.

The new UK scheme builds on an existing US-inspired innocence project network in Britain centred on UK university law departments, in which enthusiastic undergraduates were supposed to press the cases of wrongly convicted prisoners.

The Independent can disclose that this project has just broken up in acrimony after 10 years without a single succesful exoneration – with its founder accusing the students and universities involved of being more interested in boosting CVs than securing justice.

“The reality is that a lot of universities have jumped on the bandwagon because it’s sexy and they can use it as a recruiting tool” said Bristol University’s Dr Michael Naughton, founder and director of the Innocence Network UK (INUK), who is now concentrating on his own projects.

“We did a count-up and there are 800 students-plus who are claiming at interviews that they were members of innocence projects”

Dr Naughton said that many students involved with the projects failed to write to prisoners regularly or put questions to the criminal justice system, turning potential miscarriages of justice into case studies for their dissertations.

The INUK was set up in part because of the perceived inadequacies of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), the last stop for victims of wrongful convictions.

It has powers to order public bodies to hand over documents – but is dealing with a huge increase in cases and critics claim it lacks the funds and personnel to investigate with rigour.

Legal aid cuts are likely to make the situation even worse.

Ms Bolton’s new group – the Centre for Criminal Appeals – found that less than a third of people applying to the CCRC based on new evidence could find a lawyer to help them.

She said that the American experience has shown that the most successful projects had full-time lawyers and investigators.

She has brought the US model – which she describes as “investigation, investigation, investigation” – to Britain with another US-trained British lawyer, Sophie Walker.

“The CCRC is an excellent institution” said Ms Bolton.

“On paper, in theory, it’s brilliant. We dreamed of the CCRC in the US. The problem is it’s under-resourced

“The leads are in the existing file, but the answers are not going to be in the office or on the phone but found by knocking on doors and revisiting crime scenes. If I’m missing a fact, I get my car keys and get out and find someone who can give me the answers”

A letter to Inside Times, the prison newspaper, earlier this year led to 150 responses from people convicted of offences including rape, manslaughter and historic child abuse.

The Centre for Criminal Appeals is expecting to file its first application to the CCRC this month, involving a fisherman called Jamie Green.

He was jailed for 24 years in 2011 after being convicted of a £53m cocaine smuggling plot. Mr Green, and four others, were convicted of collecting the drugs hidden in bags thrown over the side of a container ship and then hiding it among lobster pots off the Isle of Wight.

8th Sept 2014: Hannah Quirk On Emily Bolton & “The US Experience”

What should students not do?

Emily Bolton, who founded the Innocence Project New Orleans (IPNO) and is now establishing the Centre for Criminal Appeals said in an interview 

“the answers are not going to be in the office or on the phone but found by knocking on doors and revisiting crime scenes. If I’m missing a fact, I get my car keys and get out and find someone who can give me the answers”

This encapsulates exactly why the US experience cannot be imported here – such actions could fatally compromise an appeal if the Court of Appeal considers it has been tainted.

There are also risks to students engaging in such work – whether in contacting potential witnesses, sex offenders who enjoy rehearsing the details of their cases, or through the distressing nature of some of what they read.

Kevin McMahon, founder of Merseyside Against Injustice, was convicted of perverting the course of justice for seeking a retraction statement from a prosecution witness before an appeal hearing.

Excerpt by Hannah Quirk article headed The end of innocence, and the chance of a new beginning dated 8th Sept 2014

Hannah Quirk “An Expert On Miscarriages Of Justice” Stated For An October 2019 Article In Part Here “In 2005, I spent six months working at the Innocence Project New Orleans, a non-profit organisation that works to free wrongly convicted life-sentenced prisoners in Mississippi and Louisiana, the state with the highest number of prisoners serving life without parole in the world. My plan was to compare how wrongful convictions are dealt with in England and Wales by the CCRC, and the USA but I realised, pretty much on the first day there, that there was too great a disparity”“Like millions of people across the world, I watched the first series of Making a Murderer over Christmas 2015. It told the story of Steven Avery. He had spent 18 years in prison for rape and attempted murder until the Innocence Project helped to prove his innocence. He was the first man to be exonerated in Illinois, America, by DNA testing” “I had already been gripped by the Serial podcast. I came to The Staircase a bit later and found it riveting for the insights into how the case was defended and the ‘did he/didn’t he’ puzzle. It was also a painful reminder of the human cost of these cases. The toll it took on Michael Peterson’s adopted daughters who had already lost their mothers was agonising to watch” “Dean Strang and Jerry Buting (Steven Avery’s attorneys) did some shows over here a few years ago. They were looking for an academic working in the area to interview them and I jumped at the chance. My main research interest is miscarriages of justice. I used to work for the Criminal Cases Review Commission(CCRC) in Birmingham, the first state-funded body in the world set up to investigate claims of wrongful conviction. I did a few shows with them and carried on when Steve, Laura and David came over later” “The media focus has been on American cases. This year the Emmy awards recognised When They See Us, about the Central Park Five case, and a reminder of Donald Trump’s notorious advert in New York newspapers at the time, calling for the death penalty to be reinstated”

1st July 2015: Referring To The Centre For Criminal Appeals (CCA), Writer Jon Robins For The Justice Gap Reported Here “UK’s first specialist miscarriage of justice law firm goes live”. Jon Robins Stated “The Centre for Criminal Appeals combines charitable fundraising with legal aid to represented alleged victims of miscarriages of justice”. Emily Bolton The Founder Of CCA Was Quoted In The Article As Stating “When I came back from working on death row cases in the States to set up the CCA, I had no idea that the situation here would deteriorate to such an extent. Criminal justice in the UK is in severely under threat and we need to do whatever we can to address this, for the sake not only of the whole justice system, but for British society too”

2015: Karin Schuitemaker, Andrew Malkinson’s former girlfriend, Who He Broke Up With Sometime In 2000, Wrote To Bob Woffinden. Woffinden Had Previously Shilled For Actual, Factual Guilty Murderer & Rapist James Hanratty, Mass Murderer Jeremy Bamber & Other Dangerous &Offenders, As previously Mentioned Further Up This Timeline Other Dangerous & Psychopathic Offenders, As previously Mentioned Further Up This Timeline

‘Although Malkinson and Karin Schuitemaker separated in 2000, they remain close friends. It was Karin who contacted me from Holland to alert me to Malkinson’s plight. “I know him for twenty years now”, she wrote in 2015, “and I know for a 100% sure he is totally innocent. The details of the crime don’t fit Andy. We worked and lived together and have been very close friends. He would never do the thing he has been accused of. ‘Now Andy needs all the help he can get” (Bob Woffinden: The Nicholas Cases, May 2016)

Writer Bob Woffinden, Stated On Behalf Of Andrew Malkinson

Apart from her own story, there is no evidence whatever of an attack.

There is no scientific evidence on her of an attacker, and nor is there evidence of any sexual assault upon her.

What the judge termed the ‘findings of the doctor’ could have been otherwise explained:

she had recently had consensual intercourse with her partner;

and a small tear at her anus could have been the result of her tumble down the bank.

As she admitted,

‘I slid down on my bum’

Malkinson has been in prison for more than thirteen years for a crime that he certainly did not commit and a crime that, in all probability, never happened.

8th December 2022: ‘Why Do So Many Men Get Away With Rape? Police Officers, Survivors, Lawyers & Prosecutors On The Scandal That Shames The Justice System’ By John Cox

With just one per cent of cases making it to court and convictions at a historic low, some believe the crime of rape has effectively been decriminalised. Dr John Fox, a lecturer in Police Studies at the University of Portsmouth, analyses the reasons why so few cases result in a conviction.

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper’s damning speech on the crisis at the heart of our criminal justice system in May 2022 was echoed three months later by Dame Vera Bird, the outgoing victims’ commissioner for England and Wales. In her resignation letter, Bird described a “catastrophic” period for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during which rape convictions have dropped to a historic low: “As victims’ commissioner, I have shone a spotlight on the dire state of rape investigations and prosecutions … While the pandemic is abating, the criminal justice system has only sunk deeper into crisis.”

Despite initiatives such as the Operation Bluestone pilot, which seeks to develop a new way of dealing with rape cases among police forces, the shocking reality is that in England and Wales today, perpetrators of one of the gravest violent crimes – which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment – are very unlikely to receive any punishment at all. Many police officers and lawyers agree with the suggestion that rape has effectively been “decriminalised.”

Yvette Cooper, Mentioned In The Above Article, Commented On Violent Rapist Andrew Malkinson’s “Unsafe” Convictions

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper has said she does not believe it would be appropriate for Andrew Malkinson to be ‘penalised any further’ following reports his jail living costs may be deducted from any possible compensation.

Following the decision, it was widely reported that he may be required to pay for the cost of food and accommodation covering his time spent in jail. It is understood to be standard practice in miscarriage of justice cases since the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 came into force.

Speaking about the process on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday morning (July 28), Yvette Cooper said: “There is obviously an independent process for determining this.

“But I don’t think anyone would think that that was appropriate for Mr Malkinson to be penalised any further in this case.

“I assume that they will take that very seriously when they’re considering this.”

Asked if there is a case for reviewing the process for how claims of miscarriage of justice are looked at, the Labour frontbencher added: “I think one of the issues that this case raises is why it has taken so long… for this to be overturned despite the multiple appeals and flaws in the original investigation.

“So I think the Law Commission is now doing a review into the appeals process. This is one of the issues that they need to look at.”

Penney Lewis Is The Commissioner At The Law Commission, Which Was Also Mentioned In John Cox’s Article

Professor Lewis was appointed as Law Commissioner for criminal law on 01 January 2020. Professor Lewis was formerly Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Centre of Medical Law and Ethics in the Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London. She became Reader in Law in 2005, and Professor of Law in 2007.

Excerpt from the Law Commission Who We Are here

Penney Lewis, Who Will Know An “Unsafe” Conviction Is Not A Finding Of Actual, Factual Innocence, Made The Following Outrageous Statements On 26th July 2023 Via BBC Newsnight Here

I mean this case is a tragedy for Andy eh but also for the victim, as he so generously stated in, in your, your interview. 

Erm she’s been let down, she has been traumatised by going through a trial that turned out to have convicted the wrong person 

And as a result has not received justice and he of course has been incarcerated for 17 years and labelled a, a rapist 

Well I think it is important that we use miscarriages of justice like this, terrible as they are, not just as a sort of hand wringing exercise, but to learn lessons for erm the justice system and in particular the appeals system

But it’s worth looking first of all at why he was wrongly convicted 

So we know there were problems with eyewitness  identification evidence, which we already know is eh sometimes unreliable 

There was not material non disclosure, so evidence which should have been given to his defence team, wasn’t 

We know that there was evidence about the other eyewitnesses that, erm they had convictions for dishonesty

That one of them was facing pending criminal charges and that wasn’t disclosed to the defence team

25th January 2023: Helen Pitcher, Chairman of CCRC Made A Statement On The Referral Of Violent Rapist Andrew Malkinson’s Convictions To The Appeal Court

I and my team are delighted that, that as a result of the developments within forensic science we were able to uncover something that does give a real possibility that the court of appeal might overturn

Helen Pitcher via ITV Calendar news (At around 3:45 here)

25th January 2023: Neal Keeling For Manchester Evening News

Andrew’s lawyers claim GMP carried out a flawed investigation and that not only do they need to admit what went wrong, but catch the real rapist.

There was no DNA evidence against Andrew.

He was convicted in 2004 by a majority of 10-2 after a trial at Manchester Crown Court.

As a result of scientific developments, experts instructed by the CCRC have now obtained a DNA profile on the victim’s clothing which matched another man on the National DNA Database.

In light of this, the CCRC has decided that there is a real possibility that the Court of Appeal will quash Mr Malkinson’s convictions.

As well as wanting his conviction overturned, Malkinson wants to be compensated.

“They can’t give me my life back, can they?” he said

“So the only thing they can do is give me a secure future for what’s left of my life. I’m 57, I have type 1 diabetes. I’m not well and I might not live another 10 years”

Below Is What Trish Hose Stated In A 2021 Podcast To Emily Dugan

Emily Dugan:
While Andy was in prison, I mean, were you able to visit him much?

Trish Hose (formally Trish Strugnell)

Not a lot no, I didn’t have transport. Think he was in Durham. I just couldn’t face going. It’s just traumatic going to visit someone because you’re like a guilty person, you know getting searched. And you can’t touch them and give them food or anything. It’s just an horrendous situation.

Malkinson wants to stay in the Netherlands “for as long as possible” but will have to leave in October. Brexit means he can no longer live there freely – though if he had not been imprisoned in the UK, he would probably be a Dutch citizen. He plans to write to the British and Dutch governments asking if they might assist him in getting a Dutch passport, given the circumstances. Another man was arrested in December in connection with the rape and released under investigation”
