Mitochondrial control region variation is reported for 152 English cats. A globally rare DNA variant was found in cat hairs on a murder victim. Cat population from crime vicinity genetically similar to rest of country. English population similar to US but very different to European cats. Relevant database frequency estimates showing rarity (2%) helped secure conviction.
