Quinn, a sex offender, was found guilty of attacking the victim – a young mother – as she walked home through Salford in the early hours of the morning on 19 July 2003.<\/p>\n
She was beaten, bitten and her cheekbone was fractured. Quinn then strangled her unconscious and raped her.<\/p>\n
Jurors at Manchester Crown Court heard that DNA from Quinn’s saliva was found on a vest the victim was wearing on the night.<\/p>\n
His DNA was also recovered in 2023 from a medical instrument used to examine the victim, which had never been tested before. He had also searched online to see how long police kept such samples.<\/p>\n
Quinn will be sentenced on 5 June.<\/p>\n
DC Jim Partington said GMP is looking at unsolved cases from the past, which Quinn might have been involved in given the extreme violence he exerted in this case.<\/p>\n
“I think the likelihood is there probably are other victims,” said Partington. He then added: “There’s three crimes, ranging I think from 2003 to 2010, that have been looked at in detail now\u2026 there’s not really any definitive link but we certainly are re-reviewing local crimes.”<\/p>\n
GMP have appealed for people who may have come into contact with Quinn to come forward with any information they might have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quinn, a sex offender, was found guilty of attacking the victim – a young mother – as she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-591956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
