“The new track in the pursuit of spädbarnsmördaren in the underpass”
“Cold case-the group takes the help of new dna-technology”
“the Case of the murdered infant of the underpass has eluded police for 17 years. “
“Now the police are out with a new police sketch of the woman suspected of the murder. “
“– With the help of the dna at the crime scene, we have been able to draw up a police sketch of what the woman has seen the out as 25-year-old, say police Mats Pettersson. “
“It has been nearly 17 years since a small newborn girl was found dead in an underpass in Kungsängen, north of Stockholm. The infant was wrapped in a piece of cloth that was hopknutet to a ”luffarstycke”. “
“the Police never managed to find out who the little girl was. On her gravestone is ”unknown female”.”
“New dna technology and the updated legislation will help police cold cases-groups forward in the non-reversed case, and the police have now gone out with a police sketch created by an american company.”
“– With the help of the dna at the crime scene, we have been able to draw up an identikit of the woman, who is suspected carried out the crime, have seen out that the 25-year-old, ” says Mats Pettersson, responsible for the investigation of Cold cases-group Stockholm.”
“– We have no idea who she or the child is.”
“the Police emphasises that the method used to create the image is all about probabilities and it is not an actual photograph of the suspects the woman.”
” Dna that this is based on is found on the flickebarnet in Arlington in 2002, thus, it is not the girl’s dna. It is probably the mother or a near relative of the mother, ” says Mats Pettersson.”
” We hope that the picture is so good that someone recognizes the woman and can tell us about it.”
“Identikit in Mariemordet”
“Last year, the police in Gothenburg out with similar police sketch of a woman suspected of the murder of Marie Johansson. She was found knivmördad in a tygbutik 2005. “
“– We will find the woman who did it here, ” said detective superintendent Peter Remarks to Aftonbladet a few weeks ago.”
“Soon, the police will make a so-called familjespårning in the case of Marie. The 1 January in the year was changed, namely polisdatalagen, when it comes to dna analysis. It means that the police can do searches on the dna from the crime scene and hopefully get a hit on the family members whose dna is in the police records.”
“Parents and children have relatively the same dna, whereas siblings can have very different. If the police get a hit increases the ability to zero in on a perpetrator.”
“Familjesökning on dna”
“a couple Of weeks ago arrested a man for aggravated rape in Gothenburg, which occurred 24 years ago. The victim was a then-eight year-old girl who mugged outdoors in 1995, and today, 58-year-old man was found thanks to a familjespårning.”
“Poker Cold cases-group will now use the new technology to try to solve old unsolved cases. “
“– This is the first in a series of older crimes to which we now come to direct us to the general public to take steps forward in our investigations, ” says Mats Pettersson.”
