Abstract
AbstractLimestone and travertine headstones of Jewish graves in the Verano Monumental Cemetery in Rome were discovered severely damaged. Police investigators suspected a group of gardeners who worked illegally in the cemetery. Tools, and other items belonging to the gardeners, were seized by the police. Traces of a white substance, and soil, were analysed using a variety of methods. The trace evidence from the graves was very similar to that retrieved from the gardeners’ tools. Evidence from several independent analytical methods strongly suggested that the gardeners’ tools had been involved in the offence.
