Despite the DNA sample, Tallinn police have yet to announce any suspects in the case. Above is a police sketch of the killer.

TALLINN — Police have determined the DNA of the Toompark murderer but still have no suspects.

Estonia’s Northern Police Prefecture believe they have a sample of the Toompark murderer’s DNA, found on the murder weapon.

However, there are still no suspects. The Institute of Forensic Science compared the sample from the bat with those listed in the national criminal DNA registry, but no match was found.

“We can’t be 100 percent sure before we’ve found the killer, but based on the current information we presume that the DNA sample does belong to the criminal,” Raul Koppelmaa, head of the Northern Police Prefecture department of organized and serious crime, told the media.

An unidentified man attacked two women with a baseball bat in Nov. 23 in the vicinity of the Shnelli Pond and Patkuli Stairs at Toompark in Tallinn’s Old Town, fatally wounding one.

Police have not named any suspects, no arrests have been made and the unidentified killer remains on the loose a month and a half after the incident.

More crimes going unsolved

Hopefully the Toompark murderer will not be one of the 51.5 percent of crimes that go unsolved in Estonia.

According to the statistics released Tuesday by the Ministry of Justice, the crime level decreased by 5.1 percent last year but so did the amount of solved crimes, with 52.3 percent of the cases solved in 2008 but in 2009 the only 48.5 percent.

“Last year we were able to notify with a smile, that finally the number of solved crimes rose over 50 percent, which means that more than half of the crimes find the solution,” Rein Lang, the Minister of Justice told media at a press conference. “On the other hand, today we have to admit that the number remains a bit lower than 50 percent.”
