Bloodstain Pattern evidence can be used for sequencing events at a crime scene. Again, it can be used to trace the direction in which a body was dragged. In addition it can also be used to draw useful conclusions about the relative position of the victim/s, perpetrator/s and bystander/s (if any) in a crime scene. Stain patterns can be used for predicting the probability of events that might have occurred at a crime scene. Bloodstain Patterns cannot in particular be associated with an individual. DNA analysis of blood samples, blood serology test can be used as associative evidence for uniquely identifying an individual. This paper illustrates the process of bloodstain analysis in crime scene.
