Shafee cites a murder case in Queensland, Australia, where the murder took place in 1984 and the body was covered with a red towel and buried in a shallow grave.
He says the grave was uncovered and tests conducted on the towel showed there was semen and using DNA tests, the assailant was found.
"A 13-year period, still the DNA sample can be found. The assailant was later convicted in 2001."
Shafee says the prosecution has answered clearly about the degradation and contamination issue.
He cites a case, saying, "We are talking about degrees of degradation. You need a minuscule amount. Seah (chemist) says degradation begins once the fluid leaves the body."
