“It’s not the monsters under the bed you need to be worried about, it is the ones you invite into your home.”
These are the words of a woman who has spoken of how she believes a forensic marking spray saved her life.
When her ex-partner attacked her one day and smashed her car up, she was left fearing for her life. Terrified of what he might do if he came back, she was offered several safety measures by Durham Constabulary, including SelectaDNA personal defence spray, which she accepted. This is a compact forensic marking device which, when sprayed, provides a unique DNA solution, linking the mark created directly to that device. The mark can remain on the body for weeks, and sometimes even months.
To protect the victim’s identity in this case, we are not naming either the victim or her perpetrator.
“I was starting to feel a bit confident with life,” she said. “Still upset because I genuinely did love the lad and feelings don’t just go away, although I hated him.”
But one day she opened the door to find him pushing his way in. He started smashing things before he tried strangling her. As he did, she called the police, desperate for help. She also grabbed her spray.
“Not being able to breathe was the scariest thing of my life,” she said. “I thought my daughter would be finding my body. He knew once that was sprayed, he was going down for it. He wasn’t allowed near me. Without that he might not have thought, he might have carried on that little bit longer. He might not have stopped when he did. It saved my life, it really did. I will use it again, I will not think twice, it literally looks like a marker pen.”
The man was sentenced to three years and two months after pleading guilty to actual bodily harm, non-fatal strangulation, criminal damage, and witness intimidation.

A gun would have worked a lot better and lasted more than 3 years.
Apparently he wasn’t Muslim.

I guess he didn’t complain about Muslims during the attack. In the UK, that might have gotten him life.
Man, that’s some solidly Orwellian technology. DNA marking spray. Could have lots of nefarious uses.
Like spraying it on a “one night stand” date after coitus and claiming rape. Bingo, and the guy is toast.
Quite.
Yep. He’ll be out soon and looking for revenge.
Plus, she could have applied it where it counts.
My thoughts exactly, then I realized this was in Formerly Great Britain.
Arm your selves my friends, CCW, get pepper ball gun, pepper spray, bear, carry a pocket knife, a belt knife, be ready and when one of these barely human monsters try to attack you or your family or friends; let them be met by a hail of bullets fired in self defense.
