Khalida Nazeer | Dr. Soma Roy

Abstract: Blood and Bloodstain is most important and common form of the biological evidence which found on scene of crime. The identification of the blood or bloodstain on burned cloth debris is challenging in forensics for controlling the compliances with burning followed by murder, to destroy the crime scene or evidences. The aim of the study was to detection and genetic profile on burnt cloth debris where the origin of species and blood grouping giving inconclusive results. Thus it becomes essential to determine the sensitivity of reagents for crime scene management. In this study 6 different blood samples were collected and transferred on 6 different cloth materials were taken for classical biological or serological methods but the DNA profiling make the proper individualization of bloodstain from burned cloth debris. So it is necessary to examine the blood on burnt cloth debris in enhanced specially for DNA examination.
