can police forensics match ligature marks on a victim?
Forensic scientists and Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO)’s job is to determine the ligature marks and present these as solid evidence in court. They are experts on that so I think they can match ligature marks and distinguish whether the strangulation is caused by suicide or by other person. I am not an expert to tell you everything about this so I am suggesting that you read further on these links: http://www.forensicmed.co.uk/strangulation.htm http://www.exploreforensics.co.uk/ligature-marks.html http://www.suicidemethods.net/pix/listpix.
