Iranian's fingerprints match in Chechen leader's murder: expert
DUBAI -- A forensic expert told the Dubai Criminal Court on Tuesday that the DNA and fingerprints found on the zipper of a bag that contained the gun used in killing Chechen leader Sulim Yamadayev in March 2009 was that of a 37-year-old Iranian suspect.Dr Fareeda Alshammaly, Director of the Criminal Lab at Dubai Police, said the fingerprints had been identified as belonging to the Iranian.
Answering the queries of the defence, the expert said that other unidentified fingerprints were found on the bag and on a pair of gloves in the bag.
Asked if the fingerprints could be taken from the metallic zip, the expert said the police took the specimens and conducted various tests that showed that the fingerprints were of the Iranian suspect.
The judge adjourned the case to August 24 to produce the 27-year-old Tajik suspect who did not appear before the court on Monday.
The assassins, believed to be four in number, are still at large.
Yamadayev was shot in the back of the head as he stepped out of his car in the basement of the Jumeirah Beach Residence flat, where he lived with his family.
A police officer earlier claimed that while the Iranian gave lift to the assassination mastermind in his car, the Tajik helped the killer flee the country.
