Description

The Blooding: A True Story of Genetic "Fingerprinting" and the First Murder Case Solved in Britain In 1987, two young women were brutally murdered in Narborough, England. Despite an extensive police investigation, the killer remained at large. Four years later, another victim was found just a short distance from where Lynda Mann's body had been discovered. The case would take four years to crack, involving a massive manhunt and a groundbreaking scientific breakthrough. The breakthrough came when genetic "fingerprints" were used to identify potential suspects. Over 4,000 men were questioned as part of the investigation, but it was not until then that the real killer was finally identified. This book tells the story of the case and the science behind its solution, offering a fascinating insight into the development of forensic techniques in Britain.
