Los Angeles, Wednesday,

SAMPLES of hair found in a blue knit cap at the scene where O J

Simpson's ex-wife and a friend were murdered have been found by the FBI

to match those of the actor, a US television station reported.

KNBC television said scientists at the FBI laboratory in Washington

found that samples from the cap were consistent with hairs taken under

court order from Simpson's scalp.

Simpson, a former American football star turned sportscaster, actor

and advertising man, has pled not guilty to the murders of Nicole Brown

Simpson, 35, and Ronald Goldman, 25, who were killed outside Nicole

Simpson's Brentwood, Los Angeles, house on June 12. -- Reuter.
