1. The most important piece of evidence: the body.

It’s an invaluable source of clues, and one left better to forensic analysis. If curiosity gets the better of you, we’ve put together a quick checklist to help interpret how it all happened.

Scrapings under the nails. What’s there? If its blood or skin, you can bet there’s been some sort of skirmish. This usually indicates a last desperate struggle between your suspect and victim, and these clues may be critical. If its just part of the ligature, I’m afraid the ending of this chap’s life probably wasn’t as quick as he would’ve liked.

Bruising. Check the body for any signs of bruising. If your victim isn’t swinging from the rafters but is found collapsed near a door, or on the floor, check the lower back. If pressure has been applied here while applied to the neck, this could indicate someone sticking a knee in the victim’s back while strangling him.

Ligature and marks around the neck.If you must cut a hanging victim down, cut above the knot, as this preserves this item for forensics. Knots normally involve a high degree of movement in their creation, leading to plenty of forensic opportunities for DNA profiles at a later stage. What do the marks around the neck show you? Is it just bruising following a similar pattern to the ridges in the rope used? That’s pretty normal and may be consistent with suicide. If there are other marks, alarm bells should be ringing.

1. Consider the MO (or method of action).

Traditional schools of criminology state that for a crime to take place there needs to be a motive and opportunity. Without either of the two, there wouldn’t be a crime. What might your victim tell you about the offender’s motive. Crime of passion? As a a hanging, it’s hardly likely. What about the wrong end of greedy relatives? A drug dealer trying to prove a point? A contracted hit? Research your victim fully to get some answers.

1. Wrapping it up: preserving for forensics.

The golden rule of forensics is “don’t touch anything unless you have to.” A perfectly preserved crime scene will tell a good story for a long time to come, and can be resurrected with detailed forensic analysis. If you want to know if it’s a simple suicide, look directly to the obvious: no signs of forced entry and disturbance; serene surroundings; no wounds on the body; an obvious ingress method to the hanging; and perhaps even a suicide note. Suspect foul play? Look to the subtle: bruises; debris; blood; and the exit point for a potential offender.

There’s more to being Sherlock than you thought, right?

Jorge Horacio Zorreguieta Stefanini (28 January 1928[1] – 8 August 2017) was an Argentine politician who served as Minister of Agriculture in the regime of General Jorge Rafael Videla. Zorreguieta was the father of Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.

Early life Jorge Zorreguieta was born in 1928 in Buenos Aires, the son of Cesina María Stefanini Borella and Juan Antonio Zorreguieta Bonorino.[2] He is of Spanish-Basque and Italian ancestry. His paternal grandfather, Amadeo Zorreguieta Hernández, was mayor of the city of Mendoza. He became secretary of La Sociedad Rural Argentina, a conservative interest group of landowners and ranchers. He was also president of the association Juan de Garay, a cultural institution of the Basque community.

The INTA, a research institute associated with Zorreguieta's ministry was put under control of the Argentine Navy after the Videla-Coup. Employees from this institute disappeared during Zorreguieta's tenure.[3]

Advisor and director In 1981, Zorreguieta stepped down as minister. He became president of the Centro Argentino Azucarero (CAA), an advisory body for sugar producers in Argentina. In April 1982 Argentina went to war with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands. Argentina was defeated, and the military government, now headed by Leopoldo Galtieri, collapsed. People who had been ministers under the military government were prosecuted for violations of human rights; Zorreguieta, who had left political office before the end, was not affected.

He also became chairman of the supervisory organization for food Coordinadora de la Industria de Productos Alimenticios (Copal).

Personal life[edit]

Marriages and children[edit]

They had three daughters:

Ángeles Zorreguieta López (born 1958)

Dolores Zorreguieta López (born 1965), married to Harmond Grad Lewis, with issue

He married again, to María del Cármen Cerruti Carricart (born 8 September 1944), daughter of Jorge Horacio Cerruti and María del Cármen Carricart, on 27 May 1970 in Paraguay.

They had two daughters and two sons:

Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti (born 17 May 1971), married in 2002 to Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, with issue

Martín Zorreguieta Cerruti (born 1972), married to Mariana Andrés, with issue

Inés Zorreguieta Cerruti (1984 – 6 June 2018)

From his two marriages, Zorreguieta has seven children and twelve grandchildren in total.

Scandal in the Netherlands[edit]

The news of the crown prince Willem-Alexander's relationship and eventual marriage plans to Máxima Zorreguieta caused controversy in the Netherlands. Máxima's father had been the Minister of Agriculture during the regime of former Argentine President Videla, a military dictator who ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1981 and who was responsible for many atrocities against civilians (An estimated 10,000–30,000 people were kidnapped and murdered during this and subsequent military regimes before democracy was restored to Argentina in 1983). However Jorge Zorreguieta had resigned one year before the end of the Videla regime and claimed that, as a civilian, he was unaware of the Dirty War while he was a cabinet minister. Professor Baud, who on request of the Dutch Parliament carried out an inquiry on the involvement of Zorreguieta, concluded that it would have been unlikely for a person in such a powerful position in the government to be unaware of the Dirty War.[4] Despite finding Zorreguieta to be at fault, the marriage between his daughter Máxima and crown prince Willem-Alexander was approved by parliament because Máxima herself had not done anything wrong; however Jorge Zorreguieta was not allowed to attend the 2002 wedding. Parliament's approval was necessary for Willem-Alexander to stay in line to the Dutch throne.

Visiting the Netherlands[edit]

Because of his past, Zorreguieta was not allowed to attend Máxima's wedding. However, he and his wife were invited to attend the christening of their granddaughters, the princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia and Ariane. The difference was that the marriage of the heir apparent was seen as a state matter, and a baptism is considered a private matter. During the baptism ceremonies (in The Hague and Wassenaar), opponents of the former Argentine military regime protested. Zorreguieta was not present at the investiture of his son-in-law Willem-Alexander as King of the Netherlands on 30 April 2013 in Amsterdam.
