Anyone remember this many years ago?? Breaking News - Update http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2781613/Sikh-student-cleared-killing-lover-s-wife.html Posing in jail, student who could be cleared of killing lover's wife: 'Compelling new evidence' over savage stabbing Mindy Sanghera was jailed in 2007 after being found guilty of murder But there was no forensic proof she stabbed Sana Ali more than 40 times The 17-year-old victim was the wife of playboy businessman Sair Ali Sanghera's legal team have 'compelling' evidence for an appeal Analysis of mobiles suggests victim's phone was used after her death Dramatic new forensic evidence could clear a university student convicted of the brutal murder of her married lover's young wife. Mindy Sanghera, a Sikh now aged 30, was jailed for life in 2007 after a jury found her guilty of murdering the 17-year-old pregnant wife of playboy businessman Sair Ali, a Muslim. But the case against her was largely based on circumstantial evidence – there was no forensic proof that she stabbed Mr Ali's wife Sana more than 40 times and plunged a knife into her womb at his family's £500,000 home in Bury, Greater Manchester. Sanghera's legal team have now unearthed what they consider to be 'compelling new evidence' for the case to be referred to the Court of Appeal and her conviction quashed. They say fresh analysis of mobile phones suggests someone used or accessed the victim's phone after Sanghera had left the home, while new tests show Sanghera could not have escaped through a small kitchen window without leaving forensic traces. The Criminal Cases Review Commission, which refers cases to the Court of Appeal, is 'actively pursuing' new lines of inquiry. The twist in the case comes as pictures emerged of Sanghera inside Foston Hall women's prison in Derbyshire, where she is serving a minimum 14-year life term.
