The long-awaited results for the May paternity puzzle feature for the winning story 'Soldier, cop in babydaddy mix-up' are in, and at least one member of our local security force has reason to smile.

Thirty-one-year-old Constable Ian Johnson, for the past seven months, since the child's 25-year-old mother was remanded at the Fort Augusta Remand Centre, has been taking care of the 16-month-old child, with increasing doubts hanging over him.

Well, today, these so-called doubts no longer exit as Johnson has been confirmed as the biological father of the child.

An exert from the report read, "The alleged father, Ian Johnson, cannot be excluded as the biological father of the child... Based on the analysis of the DNA loci listed above, the probability of paternity is 99.9992%."

Yesterday when Johnson was contacted, he told The STAR that his day was made with the good news.

He said:, "I feel good, that's good news!"

Constable Johnson also said that his first order of business was to do a name change and rid his son of the army man's surname.

In an earlier interview, according to Johnson, he doubted the happenings before the child's mother got in trouble with the law and told The STAR that it was after she was locked up that he began hearing other things.

Today, she remains in custody. However, Johnson said that the news of confirmation would reach to her.

He said:, "She has persons keeping a close watch on the process, so she will hear the results."

Constable Johnson also told The STAR that the bond between his older child and his newly confirmed son will get better as they are already close-knit.

The soldier pictured in the drama, as Johnson puts it, also had doubts regarding the child.

Johnson previously said, "I know the person because they were together before us. He is in the army and is also in the 'want-to-know'. He knows more about me than I do about him. Him all have my number; I don't know his."

He continued, "The day when she got lock up, he (the soldier) knew everything before me. She even told me that the child was his. Because of my job more time mi nuh deh deh, and that's when he is there and she tell mi lies until I found out. She very dishonest and cannot be trusted."
