Man jailed for 1992 murder, identified after mass dna test

Dutch News  

A 47-year-old man from Zaandam has been jailed for 20 years for killing a 19-year-old girl and dumping her body in a pond in 1992. He was identified following a mass dna test in the region last year. Last year police asked 133 men from Zaandam’s Turkish community to volunteer their DNA for comparison, 126 of whom agreed. This is the third high profile cold case to have produced a breakthrough following mass dna testing. And a mass dna test in Limburg has led to the arrest this year of a suspect in the hunt for the killer of 11-year-old Nicky Verstappen in 1998.
