[history]
The 5,300-year-old "Iceman" discovered in 1991 in the Italian Alps was killed by one or more assailants in a fight that lasted at least two days, shows evidence obtained by sophisticated DNA testing and old-fashioned detective work.
Scientists initially presumed that the Stone Age Iceman, nicknamed Otzi, was caught in a storm and froze to death. But a new team said Monday that Otzi's case instead has become the world's oldest, and coldest, murder case.

Has anyone told PETA about the bear skin cap and shoes? They will need time to mourn. Too bad the Ice Man is deceased though. Guess they'll have to convict him of Bear Murder Posthumously. Is there no justice for bears in this world? Sob!
