Crime day

Students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus took part in a Crime Scene Investigation day on Thursday, November 3.

Students were called in to help solve a "murder" and were given numerous pieces of scientific evidence to do so.

Tyre marks, DNA, ballistics matching, fingerprinting and digital evidence were used in the investigation.

Students also had hands-on experience and identified the killer out of a line up of suspects.

In the end, students came out with plenty of smiles, a new-found caution about SMS text messaging and a few handcuff bruises, according to campus principal Mr Frank Gasper.
