WADDINGTON


Forensic Guest speaker at the


meeting of Wad- dington WI was fo­ rensic scientist Mrs Caroline Eames. Mrs Eames has


worked for the Gov­ ernment’s Criminal Justice System for 23 years as a scien­ tist, specialising in murder scenes and helping the police investigate rapes, assaults and murder. She told members that before entering a crime scene she has to put on pro­ tective clothing, a white all-in-one suit, overshoes, gloves and mask. She then looks for blood pat­ terns, hair fibre and saliva among other evidence and she al­ ways goes in with an open mind. There is a team at a crime scene, a manager, forensic scientist and photographer. DNA testing first began in 1889, with samples, profiles and references into whose blood is what. She said it was Edmund Lockhart who said that “Eve­ ry contact leaves a trace”. Mrs Eames


The next meeting will be held in. Wad- dington Methodist Church schoolroom on August. 10th at 7-30 p.m. The speaker will be Mr
