This paper reports a murder case in which critical DNA evidence was provided through additional analysis of a bag strap that was used as the murder tool. Samples were first transferred from the surface of the bag strap by applying sterile cotton swabs before the whole bag strap was torn apart for further additional analysis. DNA was extracted from both kinds of sample, and the ratio of total to male DNA was quantified the success rate of this DNA type analysis was confirmed. In the samples from the cotton swab transfer, only the DNA type of the victim was detected with the autosomal short tandem repeat (A-STR) analysis, and no DNA type was detected with theY chromosome short tandem repeat (Y-STR) analysis. However, in the samples from the torn material, both the DNA type of the victim and that of the suspect were detected with the A-STR analysis, and the DNA type of the suspect was also detected with the Y -STR analysis. These results, suggest that more reliable data may be obtained by applying different sampling methods depending on the type and status of the evidence.

법과학 분야는 사회정의 구현에 있어 크나큰 가치가 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 인식이 미흡하여 선진 외국에 비해 침체되어 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라에서도 법과학 분야와 관련 있는 학계, 연구기관, 수사기관 등 유관 단체들로 구성된 한국 법과학회를 창립하여 이 분야를 활성화 시켜 과학수사를 한층 더 발전시키기 위함을 목적으로 한다.
