Indeed it does. Here in New Zealand there was a famous mass murder, known as the “Bain Family Murders”, for which David Bain was sent to gaol.
The house in which the family was murdered was burned down.
Now, after over a decade, David Bain has been successful in having his conviction thrown out and a new trial — it is ongoing even as we speak, with the Defense summing up its case.
It has been an interestng re-trial because the murder venue no longer exists. By protraction, neither does any additional evidence that may have been gleaned from the crimescene — DNA or otherwise.
So yes, these things do happen elsewhere.
