I've had a go at many staff members in the past as a result of this, even back when I was an admin - DNA IS NOT PROOF. If the body is unidentified, sure, kill them, but otherwise you must ask them why they killed them and can only KOS if they give no reason or an invalid reason.
Hopefully TTT staff look at this thread and realise this.
This is false and isn't stated in the rules. Killing someone due to DNA you've obtained is fine, there is no rule that states that it is not. If you'd read the rules that dictate this such as valid and invalid KOS reasons and the RDM rule you'd know that these rules are applicable to some situations but not all as in the end it all falls back on if the player acted within reason and can give such reason as to why they killed someone.
A large part of the gamemode is weighing the chances and credibility of other terrorists and the rules aren't here to remove that.
Edit: As for rule
2.4 Player Versus Player it should be changed to allow for an exception if one of the players is a detective or proven innocent. You guys have also horribly misused the rule here as it's only applicable when you encounter players in active combat, it's to stop situations where someone shooting a traitor gets killed by another innocent that makes the wrong call.
2.5 Valid KOS reasons
There are many KOS reasons and they all work in different situations and scenarios, here are a few; [You should question the player as to why they are doing these acts before you declare the KOS]
If you kill someone else for a valid reason - for example, they started shooting you - and you're both innocent and you identify the body, then you had a valid reason for killing that user. A detective finds DNA on the body that leads him to you. If he'd straight up kill you for the DNA or declare a KOS, wouldn't that be considered RDM? As he didn't ask beforehand?
