A breakthrough in the way fingerprints are taken could lead to hundreds of cold cases being reopened.
The new method, to be revealed by Northamptonshire Police, enables scientists to visualise fingerprints even after the print has been removed.
An electric charge is applied to metal objects which have been coated in a fine conducting powder. A removed fingerprint would leave a slight corrosion on the metal which would be revealed by the powder. Northamptonshire Police's scientific support unit will reveal its discovery in detail in the Journal of Forensic Science, later this week. |
