The Court of Appeal has quashed Gail Maney's conviction for ordering the killing of Deane Fuller-Sandys in 1989, accepting she was a victim of a miscarriage of justice.

It also quashed the convictions of Stephen Stone for murdering Fuller-Sandys, and for raping and murdering Leah Stephens, but ordered a retrial for him.

The court also acquitted two other people police alleged were involved as accessories after the crime - Maney’s brother Colin, and Mark Henriksen.

In acquitting Gail Maney, the court accepted the case against her had collapsed.
