Arte documentary on first killer caught by DNA evidence

Original: le code du tueur

Arte is airing 'Le Code du tueur', a documentary about Colin Pitchfork, the first murderer convicted through DNA profiling after killing two teenage girls in England in the 1980s. Coverage highlights how Pitchfork tried to evade police, infamously having a colleague take a blood test in his place, before being unmasked in 1988 by the pioneering DNA screen in Leicestershire.

Why now: The documentary is currently broadcasting on Arte, prompting renewed interest in this landmark DNA case.
