💨 Abstract

The article discusses a 92-year-old man, Ryland Headley, who was sentenced to life in prison for a rape and murder that occurred in 1967. The case is notable for the 58-year span between the crime and the conviction, believed to be the longest in the UK. Headley was identified through DNA evidence from a prior unsolved crime. The victim's granddaughter expressed the profound impact of the crime on her family.
