DCS Baker will make a short statement, thank you.
-
"After new tests were carried out
-
by Dr Alec Jeffreys of Leicester University,
-
the charges against Gavin Hopkirk have been dropped."
-
How can you be letting someone go after they've confessed?
-
We've used a relatively new process called genetic fingerprinting.
-
The tests that were carried out
-
do not implicate Mr Hopkirk in the murder of Lynda Mann.
-
And the results of the test indicate
-
that a person, as yet unknown,
-
is involved in the deaths of the two girls.
-
- What are these new tests? - The details are in the press release.
