More DNA evidence at Kluk trial

A weapon which may have been used to attack Angelika Kluk contained no DNA from the handyman accused of her murder, a court has heard.

Forensic scientists found there was no DNA evidence from the accused Peter Tobin on the "possible" murder weapon.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard Mr Tobin's semen was found on Angelika's body, which his defence argues came from consensual sex.

Mr Tobin denies murdering and raping Polish student Miss Kluk, 23.

She had been staying at the chapel house attached to St Patrick's Church in Anderston, Glasgow, and working as a cleaner to help finance her language studies in Gdansk.

A blood-stained table leg was found against an outside wall of the church.

A bloody knife was found in a bag dumped on top of Angelika's body, under the floor of the church.

Donald Findlay QC, is defending Mr Tobin, 60. The lawyer described the knife and table leg as "possible if not probable murder weapons" and forensic scientist Carol Weston agreed.
