Abstract

Bhale NP, Khan SG, Mali RS, More BP, Shinde SA and Kulkarni KV

A number of evidences are found on the scene of crime, of which some prove to be the sole proof. In the present case, a steel cup found at the scene of murder proved to be the only evidence that could link the murder to the scene of crime. The steel cups were swabbed using the ‘Double-swab technique’ and profiles were generated. DNA profiles obtained from reference blood samples of suspect matched with DNA on the evidence found at the scene of crime.
