Abstract
The article analyzes the scientific approaches to the conceptual apparatus of forensic characterization of crimes and suggests that the forensic characterization of ‘contract’ murders be considered as a system of significant forensic information about the signs of the preparation of the organizer (‘customer’) to commit a murder, the identity of the perpetrator, the identity of the victim, typical murder methods, the circumstances of its commission, typical traces of a crime, the use of which allows the investigator, taking into account the specific situation determine the inspection tasks of the scene, investigative techniques. The main elements of the forensic characterization of the ‘ordered’ murder are considered. An important element of the forensic characterization is the method of murder, which includes a method of preparing for a crime, a method of committing murder, a method of hiding traces of murder. Knowledge by the investigator of typical methods of murder will contribute to promptness in the search for the murder weapon, the identity of the criminal, traces, physical evidence, the solution of the main tasks of inspecting the scene, and solving the crime in hot pursuit. Forensic knowledge of the investigator on the preparatory actions of the organizer, the stages of the preparation of the ‘customer’ and the executor (killer) of the murder are essential for the investigation of the ‘ordered’ murders. In the process of preparing for the murder, the ‘executor’ plans in advance how to conceal traces of the murder.
Identifying and fixing the material traces at the scene of the incident will help the investigator to simulate the ‘trail picture’ of the ‘contract’ murder, to put forward versions of the identity of the perpetrator, the person of the victim. Using the investigator, tactical rules, forensic recommendations when inspecting the scene of the incident will quickly reveal and investigate the ‘ordered’ murder.
