Trucker jailed over 1989 sex attack

A lorry driver has been jailed for raping a woman two decades ago - after he was snared by a DNA sample he gave last year for a motoring offence.

Leslie Marshall, 51, from Glasgow, was given a six and a half year sentence for the brutal sex attack, after evading justice for more than 20 years.

The father-of-five raped a 22-year-old in a parked car in a country lane in Burnley, Lancashire, in 1989.
