Samples of Guede’s DNA were detected in the vaginal swab and feces samples on 6 November 2007. At this time, Sollecito and Lumumba were ruled out as suspects in the sexual assault;

As Lumumba was arrested on Nov. 6, was it even possible that a DNA test could be analyzed that quickly? From what I can find, currently it takes 24-72 hours to obtain test results. Was that quick of a return even possible in 2007?

According to Burleigh,

Quote:
By November 11, police revealed to selected reporters that there was “a fourth man” involved. According to the London Telegraph, he was “a North African musician” who could be seen in parking garage video footage heading toward the murder house just before nine at night. The man was not Moroccan, he was not a musician, and he would be identified not by the faulty video cameras of the parking lot but by his own fingerprints. As soon as the National Scientific Police had the prints, the Perugia police had his name. It didn’t take long to find him.
This, along with Knox's 'memoriale' of Nov. 6 in which she clearly says her statements regarding Lumumba can't be relied upon as true, should have made the police realize they had the wrong man; Lumumba was not involved. But they still did not release him until Nov. 19.
