Abstract

Crime scene reconstruction is the process of determining or eliminating the events that occurred at the crime scene by analysis of physical evidences. In one case, a lady left the house receiving a call on her cell phone. Since she did not return home till late evening, the husband and her children made search but could not trace out. Subsequently, a missing report was lodged in the local police station. At night, on the same day, the dead body of the missing lady was found lying in a bathroom of a Hotel along with a male dead body. The investigative and forensic team visited the undisturbed crime spot. Scrutiny of forensic evidence, crime scene dynamics, victimology and autopsy study could establish the case to be murder and suicide. At crime scene, on the basis of our observations the two cases were registered under murder and suicide IPC sections. The male murdered the lady in the bathroom and committed suicide near the dead body of the lady. This involved scientific crime scene investigation, interpretation of patterned evidence at the scene, laboratory testing of the physical evidence, systematic study of related case information, and the logical formulation of a theory gives the proper directions to the Investigating officer (IO). In this article, we have reported an interesting case for forensic aspect. The IO, was in this impression, it might murder. Our team, reveals the truth and case was solved at scene of crime.

Highlights

The Crime scene was reconstructed on the bases of scientific experimentation and experience of the forensic scientists
On the bases of our fourfold observations, 1) the entry of the hotel room was closed from the inside; 2) blood droplet on the tool bag of the person having blood drop; 3) one cartridge case was found in the firearm and one in the washbasin; 4) bare foot marks of the male on the floor
It is established that evidence tells a story and helps an investigator re-create the crime scene and establishing the sequence of events at spot[10], those related to firearms, GSR is the key evidence for it

Summary

Introduction

The Crime scene was reconstructed on the bases of scientific experimentation and experience of the forensic scientists. Brazilian Journal of Forensic Sciences, Medical Law and Bioethics 9(3):[366-372] (2020) 367 related events During this logic, careful observation, and considerable experience, both in crime scene investigation and forensic testing played a critical role. In order to reconstruct the crime, physical evidence of shooting cases are referred for forensic examination along with scene of crime study, body of the victim to establish the crime. 2. Case history In the present case study report is unique and rare case of suspicious death, wherein the manner of death (suicide or homicide) was identified in the death scene of crime itself through available physical evidences. On the same day, the dead body of the missing lady was found lying in a bathroom of a Hotel along with a male dead body. (b) Figure 7.
