The calls for the screening came after the brutal beating and rape of a 69-year-old local woman in her bed on Saturday night. Wagga Wagga Mayor Kevin Wales, a former policeman, admitted testing could cost millions of dollars if authorities chose to take that step. Inspector Daryl Venables of Wagga Wagga police said voluntary DNA testing could be undertaken after police had narrowed the profile of the suspect. Inspector Venables said forensic samples had been taken from the scene and were being examined. He said interviews with the victim had revealed few clues to the identity of the offender. Police would also be working with officers from nearby Junee Correctional Centre to identify former inmates who had moved to Wagga, Inspector Venables said. If voluntary testing went ahead nearly all men in Wagga would probably participate, he said. The savage attack had outraged the 56,000 strong community following eight murders in the past two-and-a-half years, including the killing of a seven-month-old baby in February. “There is an outrage at the moment,” Inspector Venables told AAP. “She woke up to find this mongrel raping her in the pitch black, it is a terrible situation,” he said. The mayor said innocent people had nothing to fear and rejected concerns raised by civil libertarians that police could misuse any samples. “I don't think it would be misused (by police),” he said. Kevin O'Rourke from the NSW Council of Civil Liberties raised fears today that locals would be coerced into any testing. “It's not really possible to have a fully voluntary test in a small country town when you have doorknocks that are literally door-to-door,” he told ABC radio. “When one neighbor can see whether one other neighbor is accepting or refusing to submit to a test. “You cannot guarantee anonymity or privacy which means that people tend to be coerced or pressured into submitting to a test where if they were given a full freedom of choice, they might elect not to.” In April, some 430 men from the small northern NSW town of Wee Waa took part in the first ever mass DNA screening in Australia. It managed to flush out the rapist, 15 months after the sexual assault of a 91-year-old woman on New Year's Eve 1998. Stephen James Boney was sentenced to a minimum of eight years' jail in October for the crime. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
