Shocking new evidence revealed 'could free' Paul Denham as he pleads innocence 30 years after being jailed for murdering his wife's lover in cold-blooded 'love triangle killing'
Share:
A British man put away for life over the killing of his wife's lover claims he didn't do it and wants to be freed after 30 years behind bars. Paul Denham was convicted of the chilling murder-shooting of Edward Weinmann while the pair were both allegedly driving on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, California in 1995.

Paul, who moved to LA from Eltham, South London in the 1990s, has continuously pleaded his innocence, even claiming he was 350 miles away in another state during the murder. However detectives have countered his alibi with what they've deemed 'damning evidence' and say Paul committed the murder in a jealous rage after his wife Dolores Legaspi failed to stop seeing her lover, Edward Weinmann.

Channel 5's The Wrong Man? 20 Years Behind Bars uncovers the chilling tale of a twisted love triangle that culminated in the March 1995 death of the 25-year-old postal worker and student.'. It also examines new evidence, which could vindicate Paul if proven to be true.

Edward's body was found shot to death - including a bullet wound to the head - on the San Diego highway where his bullet-ridden Honda had come to rest after crashing into metal barriers. Speaking from a maximum-security prison in southern California after 30 years, Paul breaks down what he believes to be the false narrative that put him there.

Paul Denham (pictured) was accused of murdering his wife's lover 30 years ago - but claims he's innocent. 'Their [the police] motive is that because I was married to Dolores and they're claiming Dolores was having a relationship with the victim then I would have a motive for doing away with the victim', he told the documentary.
