Description
DNA obtained by police nearly 20 years ago has led to a former taxi driver being jailed for 12 years for rape.
Mahbubur Rahman has been brought to justice after his DNA was found to match that of a previously unidentified sample collected at the time of the offence in 2006 – against a then 19-year-old woman.
The connection was made in 2022 after Rahman was arrested for an unrelated matter. Despite the compelling evidence, he continued to deny the offence.
Today (Wednesday 29 October), the-now 50-year-old, of Jane Street, Chadderton, Greater Manchester, was sentenced following a trial at Leicester Crown Court last month.
