1x2 - Forensics: The Real CSI

A man is violently assaulted and stabbed in his home by two unknown assailants in Newcastle, and rookie Nicola has to examine the crime scene for clues to identify the attackers. Meanwhile in Sunderland, a woman reports being raped in a block of flats, and Intimate samples are immediately taken to provide the best chance of identifying the unknown suspects and bringing them to justice. With two different, and as yet unknown people's DNA present in the samples, identifying individual DNA profiles for comparison with the national DNA database is no simple matter.
