Revealing
According to the BBC's home page headline, DNA evidence has revealed a French ex-police officer to be a rapist and murderer. Except, according to the actual article:
But now a former military police officer is said to have confessed to being the murderer known as Le Grêlé - the pockmarked man - before his death.
So, let's get this clear, Auntie Beeb. The perpetrator himself admitted his guilt, in the suicide note that he left. The DNA evidence did not reveal it, but simply confirmed it.
