Breakthrough in Cold Case: DNA Links Suspect to 2002 Murder of Ghanaian Woman in Limoges

The center dedicated to cold cases has potentially resolved a 22-year-old murder mystery in Limoges. A man has been indicted for the assassination of a 39-year-old Ghanaian prostitute, who was brutally stabbed in 2002. The breakthrough came when DNA evidence linked the suspect to the crime, following a recent genetic fingerprinting related to traffic offenses. This case, which had remained unsolved for over two decades, was revived in 2022 by the national center for serial or unsolved crimes in Nanterre. The investigation initially explored various leads but failed to identify a suspect until now.
