Crime scene analysis - Witness Statement - Assignment ExampleEach member of the group had been directed to call up and package at least two exhibits. In addition, every member of the team was to prepare a sketch with measurements as well as to issue a scene book accedeing the undefiled details. I along with a team, comprising three other detectives, go forth our station at 0400 hrs and reached the location at 0415 hrs. On reaching the location I briefed the other team members on the procedure to be followed and told them that I will do the video recording of the entire area as well as the main items we recover. However, they were told to take any specific items that they may recover and retrieve as evidence. As soon as the briefing process was over, we did the initial assessment of the crime scene and I proceeded to record the scene and the recording on CD is submitted as Exhibit MAS-001. A copy of the same has been kept in Police HQ on thumb drive. During my initial assessment, I estimated that the actual crime scene would be nearly 50 metres from the sidewalk and about 10 metres from a footpath inside the park, by the side of the hedge. I could identify the area distinctly because of the flattened crumb turf in the scene and, additionally, there were also a few small clumps of pastureland in the area, which suggested of a person trying to grab the grass while fighting. Besides, I could also see the finger marks on the ground as if soul was trying to clutch the ground for rapprochement or crawling away to ward of an attacking person. Similarly, I could also see elongated marks on the ground as a result of someone attempting to hold ground while pushing another person away. there were also telltale marks of shoe toes on the ground suggesting that someone was balancing the feet on ground to hold another person down. Subsequently, I recorded the other items that were lying on the crime scene. At first I retrieved the caoutchouc and its wrap, which have been produced as exhibit MAS-002. The condom had some semen in it and there were droplets on the ground nearby. I recorded these in close up as well as the area from where it was recovered. The first was a womans underwear hanging from a tree and I recorded it from the place we were standing. I went closer to record it from below. After retrieving it, I again recorded it from close range. It was a black coloured, laced panties and its elastic band had become loose. It had tear in two places clearly suggesting that someone had pried it off rather than the person wearing it removed it. It was a Calvin Klein brand I also recorded mark off and the areas where it had been torn. It is produced as Exhibit MAS-003. Next, I recorded a beer bottle that was lying on the ground. Initially, I recorded it from a distance and then went closer to record a close up view. I also turned the bottle on to its other side to record its label. It was Heineken and there was some beer still left in the b ottle. I have produced this as Exhibit MAS-004. I also recorded the black shoe, which was of Lee Cooper brand and 9 inches in size. There were mud stains on the shoe and on the toe it had mud sticking to it with small particles of grass sticking to it. I recorded it in close up and it has been produced as exhibit NBW-001. The next item was a knife, which I recorded, following the same procedure as in the other
