Amendment of the law on the DNA gives the police new tools

"Change in law if the DNA gives the police new tools"

"the New track after the dubbelmördaren in Linköping as well as a 24-year-old rape of a child who is about to be cleared up."

"A change in the law at the end of the year has given police a new tool to work with."

"It has been over 14 years ago, an 8-year-old boy and 56-year-old woman was cut to death in a residential area in Linköping."

"Despite one of the biggest investigations ever in Sweden, including thousands of topsningar on men and boys, is the killer still on the loose."

"Now, however, a breakthrough to have occurred. The investigators were of the National forensiskt the centre received a list of approximately 30 dna-profiles that have a similar dna profile as that secured from the offender."

"chief Investigator Jan Staaf express themselves carefully and say that a lot of work remains to be done before a suspect can be arrested, but dna matches are, undoubtedly, a spread that gives the police a concrete direction in their work."

"Much longer, police in Gothenburg come. At the weekend arrested a man who on probable grounds suspected of rape on an eight year old girl in 1995."

"Even in this case, a so-called familjesökning in the DNA yielded results."

"These two cases represent a pilot project that NFC has initiated after an update of the polisdatalagen which entered into force on 1 January this year."

"Previously, it was a 100 percent match in order to proceed with a dna test. Now the search can widen to indicate the close relatives of the offender. The police can thus obtain a list of possible people to work with."

"the Search is in police both the DNA-register. The of sentenced persons and the suspected persons who are at risk of imprisonment. In total, there are over 160 000 people in these records."

"the Offender may be missing in the registry, but if someone else in the family is where the criminal investigation police up a trail."

"the DNA has a variable value. That traces of Johanna Möller was found in her parents ' summer house was not much to do the wave. Children tend to visit mom and dad."

"But in other cases, evidence of this kind to be of crucial importance. Cases where there is DNA, but no known suspect."

"and One other person who believes that he or she escaped from being caught for a serious crime, have reason to sleep worse then the end of the year."
