80 year old murder police breakthrough!

Well our cash starved understaffed police have made another breakthrough, they have obtained DNA from a murder victim who was killed near Northampton in 1930.   Great!, a murder solved you say.   Errrr not quite, you see they caught the murderer at the time, what they are doing now is trying to identify the victim.

Why they are wasting money on an 84 year murder is frankly baffling, the victims family will be all dead by now and if they didn't miss him at the time, I think it's hardly lightly they'll be that bothered 84 later.

It's time we had a statute of limitation on old crimes, after 30 years or whatever they are binned, it's crazy wasting money on really old cases, even crazier when the crime was solved at the time.

The place I was a volunteer at got broken into a few years back, it took the police 4 days to come out to a burglary, maybe if they spent less time chasing old long dead crimes and a bit more investigating recent one the crime rate would go down not up.
