 - 67(1), Jan-Mar, 2020: p.49-54 
<br/><br/> Arson is defined as a fire that is lit intentionally with criminal intent. As compared to conventional crime scenes, arson sites are more difficult to process. In many cases, a building may have completely gutted and the crime scene evidence may have charred. A vital aspect of forensic arson investigation is to establish the point of origin of fire. Equally important is to identify the accelerant used by arsonists to set the scene afire. This communication highlights the complications encountered in the management of arson sites and the difficulties experienced in processing the evidence collected from there.  – Reproduced
