CRIME SCENE PRACTICAL 2
Introduction
In the case under investigation, the body of Vicki Tim was found at 11 pm last at the side
of an alley of Scatt close, Luton. Ms Tim was found fully clothed, with multiple stab wounds to
the chest and she had been badly beaten. We undertook a number of forensic investigation
strategies to not only identify the possible cause of death but also to trace the identity of the
suspect. Although we work as a group, each one was assigned a room to carry out forensic
analysis.
Crime scene processing
The crime took place at 319A Park Square, Luton, Beds, LU1 3JU. In the room, there
were exhibits such as beer bottle, pink jumper, plastic bag, potential blood stain, green fabric,
silver memory stick, blood stained sleepers, blood stain on the door handle and green cotton
glove.
Scenario
Based on different exhibits found, I selected some which could help in identification of
suspect and murder objective. One of the exhibits I selected is blood traces on stained sleepers
and blood stain on the door handle. I was careful to store them in separate carriers because blood
at the crime scene may belong to the perpetrator or the victim. One may be surprised why there
is a pool of blood under the corpse, but there is none on its back. To explain this, you need to do
a blood wash on a cotton or gauze sterile swab soaked in distilled water (without forgetting about
the control wash). In this situation, flushing should be done from the floor, table, laptop and
other places where blood will be detected. As a rule, biological traces invisible to the naked eye
are detected using ultraviolet light. Particular attention should be paid to the clothes of the victim
