Introduction

All over the world the women are more vulnerable than men in day to day activities,
social/family life and at work place. Statistics reveal violence against women and disrespect
are considerably in increasing order due to various social, economic and other factors like
lack of education, poverty, male dominance, workplace harassment, extra marital affair, etc.
As per National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), MHA, Govt. of India, 34,651 rape cases
were reported in 2015. Further crime against women in the country has increased during last
five years from 9.4% in the year 2011 to 10.7% during the year 2015 . But there is no exact
figure available on rape followed with murder in record since such heinous crimes are very
less and rarely reported. It is noticed in such crime cases, very often the emotional distress of
the rapist (an individual/or gang) found aggressive and violent resulting in murder of the
victim after committing rape. Such criminal profile is noticed to erase the evidence (identity)
so that the rapist is not apprehended by the police. In order to investigate rape-murder cases,
the investigative and forensic team need to analyze the crime scene and collect other evidence
on the following issues for effective prosecution .

Di seluruh dunia wanita lebih terdedah daripada lelaki dalam aktiviti seharian, kehidupan
sosial / keluarga dan di tempat kerja. Statistik menunjukkan bahawa keganasan terhadap
wanita dan rasa tidak hormat jauh meningkat kerana pelbagai faktor sosial, ekonomi dan lain-
lain seperti kekurangan pendidikan, kemiskinan, dominasi lelaki, gangguan di tempat kerja,
urusan perkahwinan luar biasa, dan lain-lain. MHA, Kerajaan di India, 34,651 kes rogol
dilaporkan pada tahun 2015. Kejahatan lebih lanjut terhadap wanita di negara ini telah
meningkat dalam tempoh lima tahun terakhir dari 9.4% pada tahun 2011 kepada 10.7% pada
tahun 2015. Tetapi tidak ada angka pasti mengenai pemerkosaan yang diikuti dengan catatan
pembunuhan kerana jenayah keji seperti itu sangat jarang dan jarang dilaporkan. Dalam kes-
kes jenayah seperti ini, sering kali timbul tekanan emosi perogol (individu / atau geng) yang
agresif dan ganas yang mengakibatkan pembunuhan mangsa setelah melakukan rogol. Profil
jenayah seperti ini dilihat dapat menghapus bukti (identiti) sehingga perogol tersebut tidak
ditangkap oleh polis. Untuk menyiasat kes pembunuhan rogol, pasukan penyiasat dan
forensik perlu menganalisis tempat kejadian dan mengumpulkan bukti lain mengenai isu-isu
berikut untuk pendakwaan yang berkesan.

Case Report

This case is a case of rape and murder that took place in India in 2018. In this case, a girl
around 18 years old lives with her parents. One day, the girl received a call on her cell phone
and left the house. Since the girl did not return until late at night, her parents went to look for
her but could not find her. After that, a report was made at the nearby police station by her
parents stating that their daughter had already disappeared. The next morning the station
police received a phone call about the body (girl) lying on a farm near the village.
Investigating officers visited the place and were able to prove the identity of the same girl
reported missing earlier.

Kes ini adalah kes rogol dan pembunuhan yang berlaku di India pada tahun 2018. Dalam kes
ini, seorang gadis berusia sekitar 18 tahun tinggal bersama ibu bapanya. Suatu hari, gadis itu
menerima panggilan di telefon bimbitnya dan meninggalkan rumah. Oleh kerana gadis itu
tidak kembali sehingga larut malam, ibu bapanya pergi mencarinya tetapi tidak dapat
mencarinya. Selepas itu, laporan dibuat di balai polis berhampiran oleh ibu bapanya yang
menyatakan bahawa anak perempuan mereka telah hilang. Pagi keesokan harinya polis balai
menerima panggilan telefon mengenai mayat (gadis) yang terbaring di ladang berhampiran
kampung. Pegawai penyiasat mengunjungi tempat itu dan dapat membuktikan identiti gadis
yang sama yang dilaporkan hilang lebih awal.

Observation

Sketch map of the scene of crime and the body of deceased are shown in (Figures 2-4).
Results of Forensic evidence

The result of the evidence in this case is like a human semen stain can be detected on the
vaginal swab and clothes of the deceased girl. Furthermore, the mixed profile of the mixture
produced from the vaginal swabs and women's clothing of the deceased corresponds to the
profile produced from the body fluids of the three accused persons. Blood samples collected
by medical officers of government hospitals have proved that the samples are similar to the
profiles of the three accused who linked their involvement in this case. Moreover, hug sweep
analysis was not produced to obtain solid evidence. However, the digital analysis of the notes
in the girl's mobile phone during the investigation process and this can help the police to
track down the perpetrator.

Hasil bukti dalam kes ini adalah seperti noda air mani manusia dapat dikesan pada swab faraj
dan pakaian gadis yang meninggal dunia. Selanjutnya, profil campuran campuran yang
dihasilkan dari sapuan faraj dan pakaian wanita si mati sesuai dengan profil yang dihasilkan
dari cecair badan ketiga-tiga tertuduh. Sampel darah yang dikumpulkan oleh pegawai
perubatan hospital kerajaan telah membuktikan bahawa sampel tersebut serupa dengan profil
tiga tertuduh yang mengaitkan penglibatan mereka dalam kes ini. Lebih-lebih lagi, analisis +.
Walau bagaimanapun, analisis digital nota di telefon bimbit gadis itu semasa proses siasatan
dan ini dapat membantu polis untuk mengesan pelaku.

Final case

In most cases of rape, violence and aggression were found to invite the death of the victim. In
this case the victim who is a woman has gone out of the house to meet a man who is
suspected to be a boyfriend after she got a call from the man. but it was unexpected that the
woman faced gang rape followed by murder against her. these types of crimes are very rare.
furthermore, the criminal profile shows that the rapist did not plan to kill the woman but to
eliminate the evidence. The killings were by strangling the victims so that they would not be
arrested by the police during the investigation. There are no witnesses to the criminal case
except physical and digital evidence. Critical analysis of the scene, forensic findings, cell
phone records and report autopsy provide an explanation for the case and arrest the
perpetrator in the murder and rape case.

Dalam kebanyakan kes rogol, keganasan dan pencerobohan didapati mengundang kematian
mangsa. Dalam kes ini, mangsa yang merupakan seorang wanita telah keluar dari rumah
untuk menemui seorang lelaki yang disyaki sebagai teman lelaki setelah dia mendapat
panggilan daripada lelaki itu. tetapi tidak disangka wanita itu menghadapi rogol diikuti
dengan pembunuhan terhadapnya. jenis jenayah ini sangat jarang berlaku. selanjutnya, profil
jenayah menunjukkan bahawa perogol itu tidak merancang untuk membunuh wanita itu tetapi
untuk menghilangkan bukti. Pembunuhan itu dilakukan dengan mencekik mangsa agar
mereka tidak ditangkap polis semasa siasatan. Tidak ada saksi kes jenayah kecuali bukti
fizikal dan digital. Analisis kritikal terhadap tempat kejadian, penemuan forensik, rekod
telefon bimbit dan autopsi laporan memberikan penjelasan mengenai kes tersebut dan
menangkap pelaku dalam kes pembunuhan dan rogol tersebut.

Discussion

In most of the gang rape-murder cases, violence and aggression are found leading to death of
the victim. In this case, the victim girl left home getting a call in her cell phone with a simple
belief to meet the boy friend, but unexpectedly faced with gang rape followed with murder.
Such type of heinous crime is very rare. Further, the criminal profile reveals the rapists were
not premeditated to kill the girl, but to erase evidence committed the murder by strangulation
so that they are not apprehended by the police during investigation. There was no witness to
this crime except physical and digital evidence. Critical analysis of crime scene, forensic
findings, cell phone records and autopsy report gave a break through to this case and nailed
the culprits in this gang rape-murder case.
