31. Assisting the Police with their enquiries? - with Professor Carolyn Roberts, December 8, 2021
Professor Carolyn Roberts
Our December webinar was something different but illustrated the usefulness of a solid understanding of hydraulics and a sharp mind. Court Member Carolyn Roberts, Water and Environment Consultant, presented “Out Of Our Depth? Assisting The Police With Their Enquiries”. Often murder victims are disposed of in our rivers and the talk was based on her experience as Expert Witness for the UK police forces and other agencies. Her contribution being the application of applied scientific principles to murder investigations. Indirectly helping to establish the new science of forensic hydrology.
The talk was excellent and well-illustrated with unsuccessful attempts to dispose of murdered bodies in rivers. I attended an earlier version, in 2015, in the flesh, so to speak. The queues to hear about how to avoid detection went out through the door into the courtyard at Barnard’s Inn Hall! Presumably resulting in less call for her services in the future.
