Abstract

Blood is one of the crucial evidence encountered at a crime scene. Due to its viscous nature of blood various bloodstain patterns are created which when studied may reveal what might have happened at the crime scene. Bloodstain pattern analysis is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. There are different types of blood spatter i.e., high velocity spatter, medium velocity spatter low velocity spatter. Castoff pattern is a bloodstain pattern created when blood is released or thrown from a blood-bearing object in motion. An experiment was conducted to differentiate different types of castoff spatters created by fake blood by using different objects.
