The examination and reconstruction of crime scenes can assist in revealing the circumstances surrounding the occurrence even if this takes place some time after the event.

Whether single or multiple, relatively simple or complex, scenes of alleged crime are rich sources of information about who did what to whom, when and by what means. They can provide the essential contextual background against which much scientific evidence needs to be seen, and should therefore feature prominently in defence team thinking, just as it does in the minds of the primary investigators.

Arrangements can be made for Control Risks Forensics scientists, acting for the defence, to visit scenes of crime and clear advantages can accrue if they are called out as early as possible, particularly so in respect of scenes involving blood staining. These can have a particular tendency to reward early scrutiny since, by definition, they tend to deteriorate.

Alternatively, using precise and accurate forensic techniques, we can reconstruct a scene from photographs and measurements, replacing bodies with representative mannequin and showing representative blood spots.

In addition Control Risks Forensics are uniquely able to recreate scenes using 2d and 3d computer generated images and animations, in order to clarify the course of events. This evidence can then be assembled to support a case in an easy to follow evidential presentation for use in both criminal and civil cases.
