Edible evidence Imagine the indignation of returning to your home to find that not only has it been ransacked, but the perpetrator took a massive bite out of that lovely sausage you were saving (is nothing sacred?!). That's exactly what happened to a homeowner in the Rocholzalle in Gevelsberg, Germany, back in 2012. Nine years on, police finally have the identity of the perpetrator thanks to evidence of their guilt all over the remaining sausage. Officers took DNA from a half-eaten sausage but a search returned no matches at the time and the guilty party went free. That was, until they committed an unrelated crime and the arresting officers took a sample of their DNA. At last, an automated piece of tech was able to find a match for the Great Sausage Case of 2012 - a 30-year-old Albanian citizen. Unfortunately for the victim of the burglary, the statute of limitations had passed, thwarting any chances of the criminal being extradited for trial in Germany, leaving them once again free to bite another sausage.

A US father-son pair accused of helping former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn in his audacious escape from Japan arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday after losing their battle against extradition.
In a statement, Japanese prosecutors confirmed they had arrested former US special forces member Michael Taylor and his son Peter "on suspicion of helping a criminal hide and escape".
The pair, along with a third man still at large, are believed to have masterminded the operation that saw former international jet-setter Ghosn packed into an audio-equipment case and onto a private jet to jump bail in December 2019.
