92 year old caught 58 years after he raped & murdered

Posted by Norman Dunn on 1/7/2025, 2:58 pm

A 92 year old man that raped & killed a 75 year old lady 58 years ago (1967) has been caught & sentenced to life imprisonment thanks to DNA profiling.
He must have got the shock of his life when the Police turned up to arrest him.
This is all thanks to a British Professor, Sir Alec Jeffreys who in 1984 found that our DNA can be profiled. Since then it has helped catch killers & rapists all over the world and all thanks to him!
Another advantage for us is that DNA profiling has helped many many people find their long lost families.

The bad bit is he wont have to pay for care

Amazing story, a Police story that is a good one for once.

I thought the judge was a bit optimistic giving him 20 years.

Pity he wasn’t arrested sooner.
