===Arrest===
The Roy Tutill case was re-opened in 1999 with new DNA technology. DNA samples were recovered from Roy Tutill's clothes and run through the National DNA Database. In 2000, Field's DNA, taken during his previous arrests, was found to be a match. It was also found that one of the samples had been taken during a drunk driving arrest in Birmingham after Field fell off the police's radar, allowing police to track him to Birmingham.<ref name=Tutill/>

Field was located and arrested on 21 February 2001. He initially denied murdering Tutill, although he admitted having a history of sexual offences against young boys. However, after three days in custody he admitted his guilt and gave a detailed confession. He was sentenced to life in prison on 15 November 2001.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/1657754.stm Man jailed for 1968 schoolboy murder], BBC News</ref>
