'€œBy finding the DNA, one of the witnesses becomes suspect,'€ the police'€™s criminal detective directorate director, Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti said on Thursday.

Krishna said the police were currently looking for second opinions regarding the DNA. '€œWe have to be certain about this. Therefore, we have sent the DNA to be tested in other laboratories to give us second opinion,'€ he added, citing a hospital in Singapore as one of them.

Krishna also said that the DNA needed to be matched with other evidence to connect the dots.
