Media Spin & Compensating Violent Rapist Andrew Malkinson’s VICTIM
The mainstream media are continuing to spin violent rapist, parasitic predator and convicted fraudster (Thailand 2001) Andrew Malkinson’s position.
His violent convictions were found to be “unsafe” by the court of appeal on the 26th July 2023.
The court of appeal did NOT find Andrew Malkinson “innocent” or “clear” him per se.
Will the ministry of justice be awarding compensation to Andrew Malkinson’s victim and if not why not?
A minute trace of undated, circumstantial DNA found on a piece of clothing worn by Andrew Malkinson’s victim does not erase all the other evidence which points to Andrew Malkinson and only Andrew Malkinson.
It is not known when Andrew Malkinson’s victim could have picked up this background circumstantial DNA, apparently belonging to a Mr B, who was almost 10 years younger than Malkinson.
Andrew Malkinson’s victim said her attacker was in his “early-to-mid” 30’s,
NOT his early 20’s – which is how old Mr B would have been in July 2003.

On the 2nd August 2023 Innocence Fraud Watch emailed the court of appeal after watching and listening to a recording of the appeal hearing online.
Below is a reproduced copy of most of the email sent to the court;
On the 26th July 2023 three judges heard the appeal of then convicted violent rapist and convicted fraudster (Thailand 2001) Andrew Malkinson.
Can the court of appeal judges please clarify on what date exactly police constables Gary Waite and Chris Baybutt visited Andrew Malkinson at work at Ellesmere shopping centre, Walkden following his violent attack and rapes on the 19th July 2003.
The real victim in this case was said to have made her witness statement on the 21st July 2003.
Andrew Malkinson said in 2016, via writer Bob Woffinden (in a book called the Nicholas cases) the date was Monday the 21st July 2003.
Edward Henry indicated during the 26th July 2023 appeal that the criminal cases review commission had mislead the appeal court when they had stated in their statement of reasons that this date was the 25th July 2003.
However Edward Henry stated during the 26th July appeal this date was “the day after” meaning the 20th July 2003.
Innocence Fraud Watch also included a link to Part 27 of this ongoing blog series, which can be read by tapping on the button below;
The mainstream media are spinning violent rapist, parasitic predator and convicted fraudster Andrew Malkinson’s position.
His violent convictions were found to be “unsafe” by the court of appeal (CoA) on the 26th July 2023.
The CoA did NOT find Andrew Malkinson “innocent” or “clear” him per se.

Someone called Falsely Accused? on Twitter, who has a link to a website called accused.co.uk tweeted the following on the 26th May 2023;
Dangerous sex offender Andrew Malkinson’s conviction(s) have been referred back to the court of appeal (CoA) on technicalities by the criminal cases review commission.
Therefore if the CoA deem his conviction(s) “unsafe” he will have indeed “got off with a technicality”!
Maybe Falsely Accused? will explain in another tweet how a minute speck of undated circumstantial DNA on a piece of clothing belonging to his victim would equate to his “innocence” and erase all the other evidence pointing to forensically aware Andrew Malkinson;
Why violent rapist Andrew Malkinson went on the run from the area the day after it was made known his victim was helping police compile an E-Fit of him;
During an April 2021 interview with Granada’s ITV news here, violent rapist Andrew Malkinson’s solicitor Emily Bolton made the following absurd statements;
So the new D, DNA testing that’s been done
Eh proves that another person
An unknown male
Eh is the, the source of the DNA that was found
Eh on evidence gathered from the victim in the case
And that means that not only is Andy innocent
It means that someone else out there who is guilty of this crime
Eh that, that should be a very very troubling thought for Greater Manchester police
Who did the original investigation
Eh and who are also now looking
You know, looking at
Looking at their position
They’ve gotta decide what to do next
And what we’re asking Greater Manchester police to do
Is join us
In, our application to the criminal case review commission
Eh which is the route to the court of appeal for Andy
Why was a man arrested in December 2022 for a solved crime, which violent rapist and fraudster Andrew Malkinson is already convicted of?
Circumstantial DNA cannot be dated.
And it does not erase the fact Andrew Malkinson was identified by his victim, who said to him just before he strangled her to unconsciousness she would “never forget” his face.
It also does not negate the fact he did a runner from the area, when he learned his victim was helping police compile an E-Fit of him, which was to be published.
Nor does it explain the fact that Andrew Malkinson wore the same clothes for his job as a security guard, which the victim described her attacker as wearing.

On the 27th January 2023 Emily Dugan wrote an article for the Guardian on violent rapist, parasitic predator and convicted fraudster (Thailand 2001) Andrew Malkinson.
Excerpts from Emily’s article on the violent rapist read as follows:
He was serving a life sentence for the rape of a 33-year-old woman left for dead on a Salford motorway embankment in 2003.
There was never any DNA linking him to the crime, but his insistence of his innocence only trapped him in prison for longer.
Arriving on Wednesday at the east London office of the law practice Appeal, which has been fighting his case, Malkinson was greeted with hugs of celebration.
He could hardly believe what was happening.
“I dreamed that they would find DNA evidence,”
he said.
“I hoped something would turn up that would prove I was telling the truth.
But this is almost beyond my expectations.”
I first met Malkinson in a grey, windswept car park outside HMP North Sea Camp in Lincolnshire.
It was December 2020 and his first taste of freedom.
He hugged his mum, Tricia, tight, whispering:
“It’s all over now.”
By Emily Dugan for the Guardian here dated 27th January 2023
Emily Dugan is deluded.
Andrew Malkinson did not whisper to his mother “It’s all over now”.
He can be heard quite clearly saying “It’s all over now” during the podcast Emily Dugan narrated and helped write back in 2021.
Emily Dugan then went on in her article to refer to Andrew Malkinson and his continued “torment” and included statements he had made earlier in January 2023;
“I feel like there’s a huge hole in my life”
he said this week.
“I got quite depressed over Christmastime
It slowly crept up on me, I fell into a darker and darker spiral, and it was horrible.
It was just a feeling of mourning for the loss of what’s gone
It’s like you’ve lost somebody but it’s a part of yourself”
Andrew Malkinson – January 2023
Adoption & “It’s like you’ve lost somebody but it’s a part of yourself”
Who and what exactly was Andrew Malkinson referring to?
In January 1987 Andrew Strugnell, as he was known then, and his then partner had a son.
Not long after his son had been born, Andrew Strugnell, who was 21 years old at the time, learned he had been adopted.
Up until this point Andrew Strugnell had always believed his father Phil Strugnell, who kicked him out of the family home when he was 17 years old, was his biological father.
Excerpts from a book written by Bob Woffinden and published in 2016 read as follows;
In 1983 he had to leave home.
Phil threw him out after an argument about the amount of rent that he was paying.
Bob Woffinden from his book The Nicholas Cases published in 2016
Bob Woffinden also referred to Andrew Malkinson’s adoption as follows;
He was working at a duck-processing factory, Cherry Valley Farms, when he met Jacqui Tyler.
She liked Bob Dylan and Genesis and was seven years older than him, and they struck up a relationship.
She had a mortgage on a small terraced house in central Grimsby where he moved in with her.
In 1986, they went to Amsterdam together and, shortly afterwards, Jacqui announced that she was pregnant.
The following year she gave birth to Andrew junior: little Andy.
The Amsterdam trip had given Andrew and Jacqui the travel bug.
They talked of starting a new life together in Australia.
Their plan was to go there for several months to find out if they liked it and finance their stay by taking short-term jobs.
In order to do that, they needed work permits.
Andrew applied and was asked to produce his birth certificate.
He didn’t have one so he went to the local register office.
That was how he discovered he wasn’t on the official register of births.
The assistant did some searching and soon realised the reason for the omission: he was on a subsidiary list – because he was adopted.
This came as a complete shock to him.
Naturally, he asked for his real parents’ names, but the assistant said she could not divulge them.
So he confronted his mother.
“I was pretty confused about all the secrecy”
he said,
“and a little angry”
The ’60s was the decade of the sexual revolution, but in 1966 it had yet to reach Grimsby.
So, at the time, this was a small family scandal.
Trisha was pregnant but unmarried
Happily, his mother found a new partner in Phil; but in order to satisfy the bureaucratic niceties of the time, he could only adopt Andrew if his partner did too.
So, bizarrely, Trisha became Andrew’s adoptive mother as well as his natural mother.
Bob Woffinden from his book The Nicholas Cases published in 2016
“I feel like there’s a huge hole in my life”
In 1990, aged 24, Andrew Strugnell changed his and his sons surname by deed poll to Malkinson.
Not long after this Andrew Malkinson abandoned his son, similar to how his own biological father Paul Malkinson had done to him twenty four years earlier.
Andrew Malkinson told Emily Dugan in 2021 the reason he abandoned his son was because he was “drinking a lot more than” he “should have” and that he “couldn’t really handle it anymore” because apparently he “didn’t have the strength”.
Was violent rapist Andrew Malkinson referring to his son or his adoptive and biological fathers when he made the statement “I feel like there’s a huge hole in my life“?
An excerpt from an article headed “When Adults Discover They Were Adopted: The Ultimate Betrayal/Life Hi-Jacked” reads;
Initial feelings are often shock, disorientation and anger.
Often righteous indignation and feelings of betrayal are wide spread when one learns that all their “relatives” knew but them.
All had conspired in keeping the secret.
It‘s life shattering and most of all shatters the ability to trust.
During the trial the judge made clear to the jury both John and Deborah Hardman had previous criminal convictions
Statement by Emily Dugan made on 1st October 2021 via a podcast called Seventeen years
Violent rapist and parasitic predator Andrew Malkinson claimed on 1st October 2021 that Deborah and Jonathan Hardman, who were prosecution witnesses during his trial, were “being arsehole’s” and “bugging” him at work and allegedly “making threats of physical violence” towards him.
Andrew Malkinson had apparently told the Hardman’s in June 2003 he would pay them back the £75 flight money they paid for him to fly to the UK from Gran Canaria.
It appears the Hardman family were targeted by Andrew Malkinson after he phoned them to tell them in the UK to tell them he had allegedly been “mugged” and had no money.
He also went on to tell them he would repay them for the sofa he soiled, after urinating on it one night whilst drunk.
24th July 2003: Police Hope For E-Fit Of Rapist
On the 24th July 2003, five days after Andrew Malkinson’s vicious attack and rape, Bolton News reported under the header Police hope for e-fit of rapist some of the following;
Detectives were today interviewing a woman recovering from a brutal rape in a bid to draw up an e-fit image of her attacker.
The 33-year-old mother-of-two, from Kearsley, was grabbed from behind as she walked home from a night out with friends along the M61 motorway bridge in Cleggs Lane, Little Hulton in the early hours of Saturday.
She was strangled until she became unconscious and then raped.
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
Excerpt from an article by Bolton news headed Police hope for e-fit of rapist dated 24th July 2003
Once the E-Fit was completed it was circulated to local police officers.
On the same day Andrew Malkinson’s victim was helping police compile an E-fit of him, Andrew Malkinson “had had a photograph taken at work for a security pass on 24 July”.
It was reported that police constables (Pc) Gary Waite and Christopher Baybutt had realised the E-Fit looked remarkably similar to a man they had stopped riding pillion on an off road motorbike the month before.
The person driving the off road motorbike was the son of Deborah and Jonathan Hardman and the pillion passenger was Andrew Malkinson.
Excerpts from an August 2004 Manchester evening news article read;
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.
Pc’s Gary Waite and Christopher Baybutt were reported to have “alerted senior officers” and the hunt for Andrew Malkinson began.
25th July ‘03: Andrew Malkinson Quits His Job & Flees Area Through Fear Of Being Recognised
When police arrived at fellow security guard Simon Oakes flat in Aspinall court, Atherton, where Andrew Malkinson had been sofa surfing after the Hardman’s had kicked him out, he was already on the run.
Andrew Malkinson told Emily Dugan in 2021 via a podcast called Seventeen years that on the 25th of July 2003 he “quit his job” as a security guard at Ellesmere shopping centre in Walkden and also apparently “called the police to complain” about Jonathan and Deborah Hardman.
Andrew Malkinson then had Simon Oakes drop him off at Manchester airport, telling Simon he planned to fly to Holland.
Instead of catching a flight however, Andrew Malkinson slept rough at the airport and eventually caught a train to Grimsby where Emily Dugan said he spent “a couple of nights” at a Salvation Army hostel.
The Manchester evening news reported on the 13th August 2004 under the header Strange drifter who covered his tracksthat Andrew Malkinson had initially told the police he had changed his mind as “no standby flights were available” but by 2021 this narrative had also changed.
Below is a transcribe taken from Part 2 of the 2021 podcast where reporters Emily Dugan and Neal Keeling, along with rapist and fraudster Andrew Malkinson refer to the day of 25th July 2003, which was the day after it was announced his victim was helping police compile an E-Fit.
EmilyDugan stated:
On the 25th of July he decided to leave the area
This was 6 days after the rape took place
He was driven to Manchester airport by his flat mate
But upon arrival he says there was no direct flights to Amsterdam
Statements by Emily Dugan – 1st October 2021
Again Andrew Malkinson had initially told police that “no standby flights were available”, 18 years later he is now claiming “there was no direct flights to Amsterdam ”.
However Neal Keeling stated;
Malkinson’s explanation was that he’d just changed his mind
Instead of going back to Holland he went to Grimsby, his home town
Statements by Neal Keeling – 1st October 2021
Again, Andrew Malkinson had initially told police “no standby flights were available”.
But by the time he spoke to Emily Dugan in 2021 Andrew Malkinson now stated;
I thought it was an international airport
I thought it was open 24/7
And I got there, I.. I think it was after 8
Everythingwasshut, shutitdown..
Statements by Andrew Malkinson – 1st October 2021
Manchester airport was NOT shut on the 25th of July 2003 and Andrew Malkinson had initially told police “no standby flights were available”.
Emily Dugan then stated;
Ipresume you didn’t have a smartphone in terms of trying to book a flight or knowing the airport was open
You know what access did you have for that information
Statements by Emily Dugan – 1st October 2021
Again Manchester airport WAS open on the 25th July 2003 and Andrew Malkinson had initially told police “no standby flights were available”.
Andrew Malkinson’s reply to Emily Dugan was;
No no
I.. I didn’t have any access at all
I was pondering what to do I thought I.. I.. can get a flight anytime I’ll go and seemymum
So I went to Grimsby to see my mum ‘cos I hadn’t seen her for a long time
Ichanged my plans you know
Like I always do
I’m a traveller
Statements by Andrew Malkinson – 1st October 2021
It is not known if Andrew Malkinson ever visited his mother Trisha/Trish.
Nor is it known if Andrew Malkinson’s mother gave evidence during his trial to support her sons claim that he had gone to visit her.
However the earliest he could have arrived in Grimsby would have been Saturday the 26th of July, that’s if he only slept rough the one night in Manchester airport.
Emily Dugan then stated;
After sleeping at the airport, Andy got the train to Grimsby and stayed at the Salvation Army for a couple of nights
He’d quit his job as a security guard in Manchester and soon began collecting unemployment benefits
Statements by Emily Dugan – 1st October 2021
If he only stayed at the Salvation Army hostel a “couple of nights” as Emily Dugan claimed, then this could suggest Andrew Malkinson slept there on Thursday the 31st July and Friday the 1st August, because Andrew Malkinson was arrested on the morning of Saturday the 2nd August 2003.
The earliest he could have gone to the job centre was Monday the 28th of July as they were only open Monday-Friday and it is unlikely Andrew Malkinson would have “began collecting employment benefits” in just five days.
Andrew Malkinson stated;
I signed on and told them my name and where I’m staying
If you’re someone running away you don’t disclose where you are do you
Statements by Andrew Malkinson – 1st October 2021
Neither Emily Dugan or Neal Keeling mention the fact that the day before Andrew Malkinson went on the run, it had been reported that his victim was helping the police compile an E-Fit sketch of her attacker.
Aftet Andrew Malkinson had “signed on” at Grimsby job centre, the job centre made a check with Ellesmere shopping centre in Walkden “whose managers tipped off police that Malkinson was in Grimsby”.
