Ruling could prompt Falconio

Ruling could prompt Falconio review

Suspension of a highly-sensitive form of DNA testing in the United Kingdom has sparked calls here for a re-examination of the evidence used to convict Bradley Murdoch of the outback murder of Peter Falconio.

Prosecutors in the UK are reviewing the use of so-called low copy number DNA testing, after a judge last week acquitted the only man charged with murder over the 1998 Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland, which killed 29 people.

In that case the judge criticised the DNA evidence and UK police have since suspended the use of the testing, which analyses microscopic DNA samples.

President of the Australian Council for Civil Liberties, Brisbane lawyer Terry O'Gorman, said he understood the same technology was used to convict Murdoch of the 2001 murder in the Northern Territory.
