Abstract

Suicide is an intentional actof a person causing one’s own death. Suicide bombing is the choice of anindividual or organization member to embrace death for achievement. Suicide bombers are mostly fromterrorist organization. It is a crime scene report wherein a normal citizen, a lorry driver in India triggeredsuicidal bombing in a money lending shop. Suicidal death with explosive by normal citizens is rare. Theauthor, then Government forensic crime scene investigator had investigated the suicidal bombing scenewherein a lorry driver aged about 42 years committed suicide bombing in a money lending shop. It wasnot a terrorist attack,from any terrorist organization. The author examined the blasting site and identifiedthe type of explosive used in this act. After the bombing, the bomber survived for a while and subsequentlycollapsed within a shop, a rental house.The dead body found on the floor, within the shop with injuries onabdomen with exposed viscera. The body was intact, nor blown to pieces as appeared in terrorist suicideattack. An improvised devise found attached in abdomen region and the chemical substance used was lowpower explosives, never used by the terrorists for the suicide attack.The author concluded with a finding thatthe local lorry driver had committed suicide bombing under stress, because of his inability to pay the lorryloan instalments for many months. It was an act of psychological stress rather than terrorist attack since themoneylender was safe, even in his close range of the bomber

Abstract

Stature estimation is an important element in forensic investigation. Literature review shows that handprint anthropometry has provided useful information to estimate stature for identification purposes. Handprints form an important physical evidence frequently available in scenes of crime like burglary, homicide, sexual assault and firearm incidents. The aim of the present study is to derive linear regression equations to estimate stature from hand print anthropometry of Malaysian Chinese. The study sample consists of 100 males and 100 females of Malaysian Chinese, age ranged from 18 to 58 years. Stature and handprints were recorded following standard procedure. Five length measurements and one breadth measurement from each hand with a total of 12 measurements were taken from a subject. The right hand print measurement is larger than the left, showing the bilateral asymmetry but not significant. The result of the study provided population specific linear regression equations to estimate stature from handprints (complete and partial) of Malaysian Chinese.
