NON HUMAN

Abstract

ABSTRACT

 

At the scene of the crime the trace evidence of animal origin is a common finding that should be of interest in the judicial investigation. Their easy transference to the actors involved allows the fact of relating suspects and/or victims to the place of the crime. It also serves to discard non-human evidence and in those forensic investigations where the presence of a domestic animal related to one of the protagonists of the crime. Colombia is one of the most advanced countries in Latin America in the analysis of biological vestiges from human beings involved in judicial cases. However, the genetic study of the biological vestiges of non-human origin does not follow the same analysis, losing valuable information that can contribute to the resolution of different judicial cases. The main purpose is putting forward a project for the registration of forensic genetic non-human data and the start is  supporting the idea with an internet evidence search on databases about the progress of this topic at a global level. It has made a select a set of keywords that will be introduced in the digital search engines most used by scientific community. As a result, we obtain the identification of a series of papers, in which judicial cases are analyzed and solved through the genetic study of biological material of non-human origin. Indicating that the use of different molecular techniques applied to judicial cases involving not only human beings but also animals and other organisms is becoming more relevant.
