CHAIN OF EVIDENCE SHOULD BE REQUESTED, WHO HAD ACCESS TO THE BOXES AND DOCUMENTS REMOVED AND WHERE WERE THEY STORED!!
Summariser
The chain of evidence is a process and record that shows who obtained the evidence, where and when it was obtained, who secured the evidence, and who had control or possession of the evidence. The sequence of the chain of evidence follows this order: collection and identification, analysis, storage, preservation, presentation in court, and return to owner.0 The chain of custody is the most critical process of evidence documentation, as it assures the court of law that the evidence is authentic, i.e., it is the same evidence seized at the crime scene. The continuity of possession of evidence or custody of evidence and its movement and location from the point of discovery and recovery (at the scene of a crime or from a person), to its transport to the laboratory for examination, and until the time it is allowed and admitted in the court, is known as the chain of custody or chain of evidence.1 Proving that an item has been properly handled through an unbroken chain of custody is required for it to be legally accepted as evidence in court.2
