A select group of people have a unique ability to spot when someone is lying, US research shows.

A University of San Francisco study found only 31 people out of 13,000 could identify in nearly all cases when someone was lying.

The group used facial expressions, body language and ways of talking and thinking to spot liars while the others did little better than chance.

The team are now using them to help train police and other investigators.

With these kinds of things I always wonder how they knew for sure the liars were lying. It didn't say in the article, so I take their conclusions with a grain of sault.
