 Legal Procedure

It is the responsibility of the police to preserve & protect the scene of crime. The doctor should carry with him a hand lens, measuring tape & ruler, gloves, slides, swabs, chemical thermometer, & envelopes if possible. Complete & accurate recording of the scene as it was found is very important. This can be done by accurate diagrams, notes & photography. The scene may show evidence of struggle & on the body, vital trace evidence may be present. The examination at the scene should be limited to a search for such evidence which might be dislodged or possibly lost during the transfer of the body to the mortuary. If a doctor sees the dead body for the first time in the autopsy room, they may form incorrect opinions about the origin of various injuries. Seeing the body at the scene of the crime with the various surrounding objects helps to avoid such mistakes. The visit to the scene of death is more valuable if the body shows a patterned injury, the origin of which is in doubt. Even a retrospective visit to the scene enables the doctor to have a true appreciation of the nature of the surroundings, which are usually found to differ from the impression formed from the description of other persons & will be of help in interpretation the of the findings in the victim. The scene of a violent death usually shows significant findings for understanding, reconstructing & solving problems. The finding of a dead body together with evidence of burglary indicates murder. Disturbance of furniture may be seen sometimes if a person dying suddenly & naturally falls down & injures himself. The sequence of events preceding death must be reconstructed logically to support or contradict inferences from other areas of investigation. The fatal injuries should be evaluated to find out how much purposeful action & walking, the victim could have carried out before he became disabled & died. In every case, priority must be given to the injured, & to any action designed to prevent further casualties. Evidence to connect the victim, suspect & location of the murder may be found at the scene of the incident, on the clothing or bodies of the victim & suspect, or in some other place to which the body was transported.

• No person is unjustly deprived of his liberty & his rights as citizen.
