FINLANDMurderer arrested after 44 years It took 44 years, but a Finnish court finally charged a man with a triple murder he is accused of having committed in 1960, by using recent cutting-edge DNA testing to prove his guilt, local media reported April 3. Faced with the evidence, the man, now 62, confessed to stabbing an 18-year-old youth and two 15-year-old girls to death when they were camping in June 1960, when the suspect was 18 years old, the Finnish daily Ilta-Sanomat said. Over the decades, police interviewed 4,000 people to solve what became one of Finland's most prominent murder cases, and the subject of many expert articles and even books.
