Police
LGC Forensics provides specialist forensic archaeological and
anthropological support to States of Jersey Police
Forensic scientists from the Victim Identification and Mass
Fatalities Unit at LGC Forensics are
assisting States of Jersey Police in their ongoing investigation at
Haut de la Garenne. Working closely with specialist dog handling
units and using radar scanning equipment, LGC forensic
archaeologists and anthropologists are excavating and investigating
a number of locations for human remains. This painstaking work
involves meticulous attention to detail and, given the number of
suspicious locations identified, it will inevitably take a
considerable length of time to complete.
Dr Angela Gallop, Director of LGC Forensics, said: "We are
pleased to be able to offer this type of support to Jersey on this
distressing investigation. The individual scientists involved are
leaders in their field and are working extremely hard at this
time".
LGC Forensics has developed a reputation for high quality
analytical science across the entire spectrum of forensic casework,
as well as a leading reputation in archaeological investigations
such as victim identification in mass fatalities, identification of
human remains and shallow grave excavation. Their most recent mass
fatality work was leading the forensic investigation into the
London bombings in July 2005.
