GENETIC WITNESS

Man's murder verdict quashed after 27 years in jail

A man who spent 27 years in jail for a murder he did not commit said he was "ecstatic" as he walked free from the Court of Appeal.Sean Hodgson, now 57, saw his "unsafe" conviction for killing Teresa De Simone, 22, in her car in Southampton 30 years ago quashed by senior judges.
Tests prove DNA from the scene was not his and police have reopened the case.

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