flag Australian court approves forensic testing on suspect’s samples in October murder case.

flag Australian police have received court approval to conduct forensic testing on biological samples from James Bowen Hutchison, 25, in connection with the alleged October 12–13 murder of his 78-year-old housemate, Peter Hogg. flag Hutchison appeared via video from prison during a December 17 hearing in Armidale Local Court. flag Authorities had collected blood, hair, nail clippings, and clothing under an interim order but needed a final court decision to analyze the evidence. flag Prosecutors noted bloodstains on Hutchison’s clothes and suggested the victim’s DNA might be under his nails. flag Though his lawyer opposed the testing, the court granted the request, stating the results could either incriminate or exonerate him. flag The case remains under investigation.
