A MAN suspected of fatally beating and raping a 23-year-old woman more than three decades ago has been identified after investigators compared his DNA to a discarded fork.

Hawaii police obtained Lauro Jr.’s DNA sample from a discarded fork and used it to match DNA evidence found at the crime scene where Ireland was attacked more than three decades ago.

DNA from the cheek swab matched, but days later, Lauro Jr. was found dead in his home, police said.
