A 'Walter Mitty' fantasist close to the release of a brutal sex smill after 38 years begged in prison to see a psychiatrist after he initially confessed to the murder.
Peter Sullivan, a vulnerable man with learning difficulties, wrote a long explanation to the police and said he thought he was 'crazy' and could not understand why he kept telling lies.
Details of his extraordinary call for help can be unveiled after a milestone post on Sunday investigation a shocking catalog of police errors, alleged misconduct and other official blunders revealed that the former worker and father of one of the majority of his adult life has seen.
Sullivan was 30 when he was convicted that he was a sadistic sex killer who is known as the 'Beast of Birkenhead' who killed a young florist and part -time bar girl, Diane Sindall.
A jury condemned him for murder in November 1987 after a forensic dentist said that he was 'certain' biting traces of the victim of the suspect.
Now after about 14,000 days in prison and 67 years old, Sullivan will be declared innocent in the longest miscarriage of the UK after 'new discovered' DNA suggests that he was wrongly imprisoned for the murder of Mrs. Sindall, 21, in August 1986.
The DNA belongs to a mysterious suspicious whose details are not in the national DNA database or are linked to other unsolved violations.
Even before the conviction of Sullivan is officially annulled to the Court of Appeal, which has been established to investigate his case in the coming months, the Merseyside police started a new investigation into the horrible death of Mrs. Sindall.

Diane Sindall was ambushed and dragged into an alley where she was killed in 1986
It is said that it is 'uncontrollable' evidence that Sullivan – which is described as a 'village idiot' and 'not the entire shilling' – is innocent and his conviction is unsafe.
Detectives have reportedly forced a confession of the Oddball, initially forbidden him to see a lawyer and denied him support from a 'suitable adult', who, it is said, should have been appointed to be his interests as a vulnerable person protect.
Mrs. Sindall was brutal and sexually mutilated in Birkenhead, about the Mersey from Liverpool.
The part -time bar girl had worked late to pay for her upcoming wedding when her van hit without gas.
While she walked past a road, she was ambushed and dragged an alley where she was killed.
Now, in the midst of further suggestions that detectives operated the vulnerability of Sullivan, the email can reveal how he argued to see a psychiatrist after he had withdrawn his 'confession'.
“I have to see a doctor or a psycho (sic),” he told Detectives days after his arrest. “I have to find out what's wrong with my mind because I think I'm crazy.
'I keep going with all these lies, but I never killed Diane. If I had killed her, I would have come straight ahead and handed myself over. '
The jury during his murder process in Liverpool in 1987 was told how Sullivan had referred to wanting a psychiatrist in a statement of 13 pages he wrote in his cell in the early hours of October 1, 1986 in his cell he was asked for more than A week.

He said to the police: 'I want to help you with this murder and free myself. I don't mean anyone angry.
“My father told me to help you with all your questions, so please help me to damage myself.”
The psychological assessment of Sullivan was carried out six years ago, when he made a failed attempt to erase his name, his “limited intellectual capacity and suggestiveness” emphasized.
Defense -Expert Dr. Harry Wood, a psychologist from the consultant, said that this gave concern about the answers and confessions of the applicant in his police interviews'.
In his Memoires from 2001, the cause of death, Senior Home Office -Pathologist Dr. Geoffrey Garrett – who worked on the murder of Sindall – lower criminal Sullivan as a attention seeker and a loser, a Jailbird and a man with few friends'.
He added: 'He was never clear and probably a bit backwards. His chances of achieving something valuable were about zero, but he dreamed of being a success.
Living in a typical 'Walter Mitty' world, he was friendly to be friendly with his heroes, World Darts champions Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson.
“Another time he claimed to have had football processes with Wolverhampton Wanderers.”

Dr. Garrett, who has died since then, added: 'Once he had beaten a window and just waited to be caught.
'Another time his stolen car broke, so he stopped a policeman to help him restart it. The police officer arrested him.
'The only way Sullivan could get attention was to be misbehaved and caught misbehavior. Here was certainly one of the victims of life. '
The Merseyside police confirmed that a new investigation had started after the discovery of the DNA. The Mail said: 'There is no party for the DNA profile of the crime scene on the National DNA database.
'The research team has obtained voluntary DNA elimination monsters from persons who were identified during the original investigation for comparison with the non -Geidified DNA profile.
The research team also receives voluntary DNA elimination monsters from people throughout the country for specialized DNA research.
“Letters were sent by the research team to help trace people who have been identified from the original research to request voluntary DNA elimination monsters.”
No date has yet been set for the profession of Sullivan. The previous longest judicial miscarriage was served for 27 years by Stephen Downing, whose conviction in the murder case 'Bakewell Tart' was destroyed in 2001.
