Forensic Knife Crime Analysis and Knife Expert Witness Services

Forensic Resources offer a forensic knife crime analysis and knife expert witness service to defence solicitors across the UK. Using the leading tool mark technology, Forensic Resources' qualified scientists can analyse knives that have been used in a variety of different circumstances including murder, assault, theft, robbery and rape to extract information to support criminal investigations or provide expert witness statements in court.

In 2008 Police reports available from the Freedom of Information Act revealed over 10,000 criminal investigations where knives were used as a weapon and a terrifying 277 deaths from knife crime. With such a high number of criminal investigations involving knife crime, forensic resources put together a specialist forensic knife analysis and knife crime expert witness team to help provide expert witness reports to aid criminal investigations where knives were used as a weapon.

Forensic Resources has become one of the country's leading forensic knife experts for criminal investigations. Using qualified forensic experts, Forensic Resources can provide accurate DNA Analysis on knives used in crimes and have provided expert witness accounts in court for both defence and prosecution cases.

When analysing cases where a knife has been used as a murder weapon, Forensic Resources can provide DNA Analysis and fingerprint analysis on the knife and also provide a blood spatter analysis service to investigate what had occurred during the incident.

Often when a knife has caused injuries to a person we have been contracted to provide an expert witness statement for the injuries caused to verify if they were caused by a knife in an effort to examine what type of knife was used and to provide expert witness statements on how the incident may have occurred. In addition to this we have also provided expert witness services to analyse whether knife injuries were infact self inflicted rather than caused by another individual.

Forensic Resources can provide the following forensic knife analysis services:
