ABSTRACT
Solving a crime is a difficult task. The challenge faced by a criminal investigator, though simple, is not trivial – correctly to identify the perpetrator and bring him/her to justice. This can be achieved in a number of ways, by examining eyewitness accounts and physical evidence recovered from the crime scene. Among the physical evidence, DNA evidence has possibly the highest probative value of all, on a par with fingerprint evidence, in identifying an individual.
