Super sleuths scoured Pembrokeshire College last Saturday for clues to solve a murder!
As part of the Darwin Science Festival's Crime Lab, budding forensic scientists carried out Who Dunnit? to find the murderer of mythical rap singer Lady Electric, found 'dead' in the college stock room on Friday afternoon.
Carrying out experiments on blood splats, cocoa fingerprints, fibre identification, shoe impressions and foot scrapings, they pieced together the forensic evidence to solve the dreadful crime.
In association with the Pembrokeshire branch of the BA, the event concluded National Science Week in the county.
Forensic scientists were present to talk to the participants.
Professor David Whittaker, a forensic dentist from the College of Medicine in Cardiff, spoke of his rather gruesome work identifying bodies from their teeth and murderers from bite marks left on their victims.
Professor Whittaker has worked on a number of high profile cases, including the Rosemary and Fred West murders, and has appeared on TV's Meet the Ancestors and Time Team.
The Scientific Support Unit at Haverfordwest Police Station set up a scene of crime tent with information on identifying fingerprints and footprints. The police rely on the assistance of the Forensic Science Service Laboratory at Chepstow, who came with information on DNA analysis and profiles.
Valerie Morse, the festival's educational co-ordinator, said: "This is the sort of event that fulfils all our aims. It brought cutting edge science into everyday life by engaging young people with hands-on science and enabling them to enter into dialogue with working scientists."
