Two of the victims were excluded from the tests because at the time of the attack the suspect was outside the Kingdom. Some of the samples taken from the suspect include his semen, hair, clothes and some of his belongings.
Earlier, the General Prosecution and Investigation Board had ordered alleged child victims of the serial rapist and their families to take DNA tests. The investigators were hoping at that time to match samples taken from the suspect.
Meanwhile, the administrative court in Jeddah will hold a fourth hearing into a lawsuit action from a man released after initially being accused of raping at least 13 girls.
The plaintiff, Abdul Rahman bin Hassan Abdullah, was detained for six months and is now suing police for damaging his reputation. He was released after the arrest of the schoolteacher.
Sources told Al-Madinah daily that the administrative court reviewed the case in the previous three sessions, where the judge asked the defense each time to provide the arrest warrant. The court was told it would be produced in the next session.
Abdullah, who has two wives and four children, said that he was arrested in the village of Al-Hijrah in Baha province on Dec. 22, 2010, and initially put in solitary confinement for five days in Jeddah’s Briman prison, where he has been detained since.
Abdullah said he was proven innocent after the rapist carried out two attacks while he was still behind bars.
