First DNA profile false "match" in Germany

Unlike Raymond Easton or Peter Hamkin in the UK this
person in Germany had a unimpeachable alibi
concerning his wherabouts.
Anyone know of a German legal/law usenet group?

DNA mystery in murder probe
27 May 2003

GOETTINGEN - German justice officials investigating a murder six years ago
are faced with a baffling problem after a DNA sample appeared to confirm
the killer.

The sample prosecutors found in connection with the murder fitted the DNA
profile of a 40-year-old man. But their sole suspect had the perfect alibi -
he was in jail at the time.

"This is a very mysterious affair," admitted Hanover public prosecutor
Thomas Klinge.

The September 1997 murder of a 61-year-old woman, whose body was left on a
playground in Hanover after she had been beaten about the head with a
stone, had baffled police for several years.

But last year specialists achieved a breakthrough when they discovered
small traces of DNA material on the victim's bicycle.

A check of the BKA federal police department's DNA databank confirmed it
matched the profile of a suspect with a previous record of violence and
sexual offences.

However, the man has been held at a high-security unit at Goettingen's
closed mental health hospital since the middle of 1997.

Officials at the unit have confirmed that it is absolutely secure. Director
Gunter Heinz said he was "100 per cent certain" the suspect could not have
left and returned.

Klinge said there could be no doubt about the accuracy of the DNA sample
which had been tested by several institutes. Neither was there any reason
to believe the evidence had somehow appeared on the bicycle after the
crime.

But he added: "The alibi appears to be absolutely reliable, and we have no
knowledge the man has an identical twin brother."
