Yup. A lot of these old cold cases are now being reopened because more arrested criminals are having their DNA tested against unsolved crimes. There was another case were a man was found guilty in Yorkshire last month on similar DNA evidence.

If the people who object had had their wives/mothers/sisters/girlfriends attacked because some sad inadequte was allowed to go on offending, because we don't have a national DNA data base which would quicken arrests, would they change their minds?
