The convicted murderer, now 34, is up for parole in 2025 after being ordered to spend at least 20 years behind bars
Lawyers representing convicted murderer Luke Mitchell have claimed DNA samples were "never tested" after Jodi Jones was brutally killed in 2003. Mitchell, now 34, is currently serving a life sentence and has had several appeals to overturn his conviction rejected, with the Appeal Court previously concluding there had not been a miscarriage of justice.
It is alleged that at least 10 samples of bodily fluids swabbed from different parts of Jodi's body were sent for forensic tests that were never carried out. And lawyers acting for Mitchell claim this could prove he is the victim of a miscarriage of justice. "A 14-year-old girl was murdered and, rather than concentrate their efforts on finding who was responsible, they focused on her boyfriend - failing, as a result, to pursue forensic evidence that could not only have identified the real killer but exonerated Luke Mitchell."
