DETECTIVES hunting the killer of a North Yorkshire man today began a two-week programme to take the genetic fingerprints of 800 men from two neighbouring villages.
Officers investigating the murder of 58-year-old bachelor David Williamson, who was found unconscious with a fractured skull on a roadside path just a few hundred yards from his home in Sutton-on-the-Forest, near Easingwold, announced on Friday that they were widening the murder hunt by calling for all males aged over 14, living in the village and neighbouring Huby, to volunteer for DNA testing.
