I bring this petition because too many families still suffer in silence after unsolved murders, rapes and disappearances. Parents can wait a lifetime to bury their child; children grow old without answers. Every year offenders die peacefully while victims’ families are denied the truth. A simple DNA swab taken after death — potentially costing pennies — could finally give them closure. We feel this is basic British fairness: putting grieving victims first.
