A few days back,
a 38 year old woman from Chennai lost
her life in a blast in Bangalore. Now it
is reported that Investigators have zeroed in on some terror groups and sketches of suspects have been drawn. The ACP is quoted as saying that they would
be matching the sketches with the suspect list.
Many a times, the Police would make posters of the suspects based on the
sketches too – and a CCTV camera would make that job of providing a face to the
suspect, lot easier. For making a
sketch, defined impression of traits would help – say the shape of the face,
the cut of the hair, the color of eyes, the chin, the way nose or ear looked,
physical description including the height, shoulders and more.
Researchers are
identifying genes that give rise to a person's physical traits, such as facial
structure, skin color or even whether they are right- or left-handed. That
could allow police to build a picture of what a criminal looks like not just
from sometimes-fuzzy eyewitness accounts, but by analyzing DNA found at a crime
scene. Forensic experts are increasingly relying on DNA as "a genetic
eyewitness." The push to predict
physical features from genetic material is known as DNA forensic phenotyping.
Cinema
often portrays things that are unlikely to happen or what normal persons would
not do ~ but that is what tickles people into laughter. Vadivelu in
Nagaram, a film directed by Sundar C ~ rocked as Style Pandi, a
character indulging in thefts rocks.
This reportedly was based on the 1993 American movie Carlito's Way. In
one scene, Vadivelu would enter an empty house for burgling the contents, when
the lights gets switched on, there would be hundreds of police cops; later he
would be taken in a waiting police vehicle – and cops would give extra blow for
a poster. Yes, a poster – poster put up by his disciples, hailing his 100th robbery – pasted everywhere
in the town – and on the police vehicle too……..
Elsewhere
in Derbyshire, Police have released 'e-fit' drawn by three-year-old -
and somehow he's still at large !!! A three-year-old
girl whose home was broken into while she slept upstairs has drawn a picture of
a burglar to help police hunt him down.
Detectives told little Evelyn Bardgett, from Ilkeston, Derbyshire, her
sketch 'would make a good e-fit' as they took statements from parents Stephen,
36 and Lucy, 31.
Cruel burglars used
a spade from the garden shed to force open a kitchen window and get inside the
home. They stole an iPad and Mr Bardgett's wallet. Evelyn drew the picture to
help police catch burglars who broke into her house as she and her parents
slept. Police confirmed the raid was one of five homes, targetted by the same gang overnight between
Monday and Tuesday in the past week. Mr
Bardgett, a self-employed floor layer, said: 'The worst thing is knowing that
someone has been in your house and searching around while you were asleep
upstairs.
It is reported that
the culprits were there on the premises for at least two hours and
scenes-of-crime officers and CID came too. Derbyshire Police said cash,
jewellery, laptops and mountain bikes were stolen from other properties in the
same area in the spate of burglaries between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
~ and
Police are after the culprit, trying to pick up clues from the e-fit drawn by
the 3 year old !!
