webfact 160609 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Japanese woman's murder: DNA evidence suggests a Thai was not to blame Picture: Sanook Sanook reported on the latest developments in the cold case of Tomoko Kawashita who was found murdered in the Sukhothai Historical Park in 2007. Justice minister Somask Thepsuthin said that DNA from the victim's trousers was compared to 379 Thais without a match. Furthermore a new chromosome heredity technique has confirmed that the person responsible was from one of seven Asian nations - and Thailand was not one of them. The Department of Special Investigations pointed the finger strongly at a Japanese man who was close to the victim and who left a day after she was murdered. The Nation reported in November that that person was unnamed but had since died. Sanook made no mention of this in their round-up of the latest developments that said Thais were now cleared of the murder. Tomoyuki Fujiyama of the Japanese police thanked Thailand for their efforts to solve the case.

Popular Post CelticBhoy 7005 Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2020 They seem to be spending this week wiping the slate clean of any Thai-linked murders. DNA clears this one and serious money changing hands clears the well-known other. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are companies that offer to analyse your DNA and will confirm where your ancestors most likely originated from. No idea of cost, but I see regular adverts for it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, give me a break! Not nationality but (ref: Science Line):- Since certain genetic variations are typical in certain areas, geneticists can use an individual’s DNA to estimate where their ancestors came from. But when this technique is used to look at someone’s nationality rather than the origin of their distant ancestors, critics say it’s no longer viable. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre0720 1793 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well if a DNA test can determine if an individual acts in a responsible way or not, I suppose that would be indicative enough... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieroaming 6988 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 What a load of nonsence, I'm sure that there are plenty of Thais whom are born here but whose ancestors might have migrated from places like China. More mindless reporting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
