Photographer Ordered to Give DNA in Nicole Kidman Bugging Case  4/7/05

Police investigating the alleged bugging of Nicole Kidman's Australian home will given a DNA sample from the accused celebrity photographer following a fresh court order.

Sydney's Waverley Local Court magistrate Lee Gilmour yesterday (06MAR05) ordered photographer Jamie Fawcett to provide a sample of his DNA after investigators said they want to compare it with two sets of DNA found on the listening device.

A bug was found outside the actress' home in Sydney on 23 January (05) during a search by her security staff.

Fawcett, who hasn't been charged with any offence, had earlier refused to give police a DNA sample. His lawyer, Paul Russer, says Fawcett plans to appeal.

Kidman, 37, was granted a restraining order against Fawcett and another Sydney photographer, Ben McDonald, after claiming the pair hounded her earlier this year (05). The order was later lifted.
