JonBenet murder suspect DNA tested

DNA testing will decide whether John Mark Karr, the man arrested in Bangkok in connection with the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey, was involved in the six-year-old's death or is a fantasist.

As prosecutors awaited Mr Karr's return to the US from Thailand doubts surfaced about the bizarre nature of his confession and remarks he made to Thai police during questioning.

Thai immigration police said he had confessed that he collected JonBenet from school and drugged her with chloroform before sexually assaulting her. But the child beauty queen's body was found on Boxing Day 1996, during the school holidays. No traces of chloroform were found in her autopsy and she had not been raped.
