A witness, Dr. Khalid Adekoya, on Monday told a Lagos High Court, TBS, that there was evidence of contamination and intrusion of more individuals in the DNA analysis of Danish, Peter Nielsen, accused of killing his Nigerian wife and daughter.
Adekoya, a Specialist in Human and Forensic Genetics, made the disclosure while giving evidence as to the sixth defendant’s witness in the ongoing trial of the Danish.
The forensic specialist gave evidence while analyzing the DNA report already tendered in evidence by the prosecution.
Nielsen was accused of killing his Nigerian wife, Zainab, a singer, and their three-year-old daughter, on April 5, 2018.
One of the prosecution’s witnesses had told the court that the DNA of the defendant was found on the victim’s nightgown.
At the resumed hearing, Adekoya told the court that the DNA analysis provided by the prosecution was conflicting and confusing.
According to the witness, there is the presence of mixed profiles as well as strange profiles in the DNA report which indicate contamination and intrusion of more individuals outside the defendant and the victims.
