ABSTRACT

The body of an 18-year-old female was found on the side of a road near Porvoo (a small city about 50 km northeast of Helsinki, Finland). The deceased was completely naked from the waist down and the upper part of her body was clothed normally. The victim’s jeans, stockings and underwear were bundled on her chest. The technical research team took the clothing of the deceased, fingernail scrapings, head hair and pubic hair combings, and known hair standards as samples.
