Family of murdered Jodi Jones hit out at claims that DNA samples were 'never tested'

The family of murdered Midlothian teenager Jodi Jones have slammed campaigners who claim vital DNA samples found on her body were "never tested".

The latest claims form Luke Mitchell's legal team allege at least ten samples of body fluids were removed from the 14-year-old and sent for forensic tests which were never carried out.

As the Record reports, they claim the DNA samples could exonerate Mitchell, 34, who is serving a life sentence for murder. Jodi's family themselves have faced abuse and false accusations on social media.
