Pitchfork case study
Colin Pitchfork, found guilty of murdering two school girls in Leceistershire in 1983 and 1986, evaded police DNA sampling by persuading a friend to give a sample on his behalf. Checks against a National Identity Register would have prevented this.
Full details of the case study can be found on the IPS website:
