Blood from mosquito traps Finnish suspect

TALK ABOUT BEING STUNG!
The ability of forensic analysis and DNA identification just keeps getting better. Lyonswood employs forensic examination where ever technology allows.
Police in Finland believe they have caught a car thief thanks to a DNA sample taken from a sample of his blood found inside a mosquito.
The suspect, who has been interrogated, has insisted he did not steal the car, saying he had hitchhiked and was given a lift by a man driving the car.
Palomaeki said a prosecutor would decide if the evidence was solid enough for charges to be pressed.
Finnish police said it was rare for them to use insects to solve crimes, although they are interested in everything found at a crime scene.
"It is not usual to use mosquitoes. In training we were not told to keep an eye on mosquitoes at crime scenes," Palomaeki said, laughing.
"It is not easy to find a small mosquito in a car, this just shows how thorough the crime scene investigation was," he added.
