Abstract:
Stains on clothing from two victims which were later on determined as grass stains, and a blade of dried grass taken from another were examined to identify the sites of crimes. The species of each sample was identified based on the characteristic distribution pattern of flavonoids seen on high performance liquid chromatography. The scene of the crime was clearly traced from the evidential material.
