Kharkiv Forensic Experts Received Modern Equipment

The Kharkiv Forensic Science Institute received a modern portable wireless Artec Leo scanner, the Ministry of Justice reports.

The equipment will allow a more effective recording of crimes committed by Russians in Ukraine.

“Modern equipment will allow Ukrainian experts to create highly accurate 3D models of objects and digital copies of all available evidence for international courts. Potential applications of these 3D models include damage assessment, bloodstain pattern analysis, bullet trajectory reports, autopsy documentation, virtual reality presentations, 3D-printed evidence, and much more,” explained Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine Andrii Haichenko.

Last November, Kyiv forensic medical experts received 30 such Artec Leo scanners from the Ministry of Defense of Luxembourg. Each scanner is worth UAH 1.3 million (~$35000). 

Now, experts from four more Ukrainian forensic institutes will be able to work on this modern equipment. The forensic institutes of Dnipro, Lviv, and Odesa have also received such scanners. Equipment for colleagues from other cities was handed over by the Kyiv National Scientific Research Institute.

Earlier this week, law enforcement officers managed to find evidence of one of the Russian crimes – the bodies of nine victims from the bus in Borova in Kharkiv Oblast.
