According to the Welsh police, DNA was first used in Britain to prove that a farmer in Wales stole his neighbor’s cow in court this week.
Dyfed-Powys police used DNA from 3,000 pounds ($ 3,900) of heifers that was re-tagged by a nearby farmer after escaping from the field to prove that she was stolen. Blood samples were compared with cows on the victim's farm in order to prove family ties and convictions.
David Aeron Owens from Salem Road, St. Clears, pleaded guilty to stealing the Swansea Crown Court on Monday, February 3; the farmer was sentenced to pay a fine of £ 4,000 ($ 5,200) and £ 400 ($ 520).
Since the late 80s, cow embryos are sometimes cloned to produce suitable individuals.
Case official Gareth Jones said: “It was a lengthy and lengthy investigation, and it took a lot of work and patience to achieve this. Without the use of heifers DNA, we would not be able to prove that it was stolen by Mr. Owens and that he was trying to change his identification tags to avoid prosecution. ”
This is the first time that blood DNA from a heifer has been used in connection with a criminal case.
