Murder, rape and child abuse investigations will be hampered if a European court rules that more than 500,000 DNA samples should be removed from Britain’s National DNA Database, a senior police chief has told The Times.
The policeman in question is the outgoing Chief Constable of Lincolnshire, Tony Lake, formerly the chairman of the National DNA Database.
