Police to request help from FBI in DNA testing
September 19, 2014 6:44 pm
Police will request the help of the United State's Federation Bureau of Investigation in testing semen found on the body of a female British backpacker who was brutally murdered on the resort island of Koh Tao this week.
The DNA testing technology in Thailand could only identify whether it was male or female semen, said deputy police chief General Somyot Pumpunmuang, while the FBI had "sophisticated technology".
"We will ask the FBI to help identify the DNA in the semen we found - whether it belonged to an Asian or European," he said Friday.
