LAW

Description

Murder is a criminal act, where with this act the life of a person is taken carelessly or intentionally. So the target of murder is human life. In these cases, one of the first actions in the preliminary phase of the criminal procedure (investigation phase) is the inspection of the scene.

So the investigation is an investigative process for securing evidence. The Code of Criminal Procedure does not determine the method of investigation, but only the legal matter for processing. The examination of the place of the event includes many procedural actions of the investigation such as: examination of the corpse, forensic expertise, fixation of tracks including latent ones, the use of many criminalistic - forensic technological tools and devices, etc. The experts, after carrying out the inspection of the scene of the event, collect important evidence, where together with the profiling of the mode of execution (modus operandi) they create and present the versions for investigation such as: natural death, accidental case, murder, suicide, for the motives and character of those involved. In this paper, we have addressed some methodical characteristics through tools that are necessary for the investigation, processing and argumentation of murder in general.

Another characteristic in this paper is that with the procedural action of the crime scene investigation, some scientific methods are used in criminalistic tactics to distinguish murder, suicide, accidental death or natural death.

For this, we have at our disposal the tools and methods, including technical and scientific ones that clarify all the circumstances such as: The place of the criminal event, the modus operandi system, the evidence at the place of the event, the time of the commission, and where in particular they help us to discover the perpetrator the criminal offense of murder.
