ABSTRACT
In cases of necrophilia, expert testimony of several specialists-pathologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, criminologists, scene-of-crime ocers, forensic scientists who have examined trace evidence such as blood, hair, and ber, DNA specialists, and so on-would be needed in courts for a successful prosecution. A very good investigation coupled with a fumbling testimony can spoil the case for the prosecution. Following some general principles can save a lot of unnecessary embarrassment for the expert.
