Cape Town, Nov 20(ANI): South African forensic experts are reportedly trying to determine whether semen samples taken from a hotel bedsheet match the DNA of acclaimed cricket journalist Peter Roebuck.
Itai Gondo, the Zimbabwean man who lodged a sexual-assault complaint against Roebuck, claims that the 55-year-old had molested him when they met in the commentators room at the Southern Sun hotel in Newlands in Cape Town on November 7.
It is alleged that Roebuck's semen spilled on to a bedspread as he attempted to have sex with the 26-year-old.
Forensic analysis will ascertain whether the semen samples match Roebuck's DNA, Courier Mail reports.
Gondo had earlier claimed that Roebuck leapt from his hotel-room window to avoid the shame of defending himself against sexual-assault charges.
"As far as I am concerned he took his own life because he didn't want to face the law. He didn't want to face up to what he did. So, it's not my problem. He is the architect of his own demise," Gondo had said.
Gondo, who said he had not received any money for telling his story, also claims that he took his allegations to the police because he believed Roebuck might have assaulted other men. (ANI)
