Abstract

Textural and mineralogical composition of soil materials were used as geoforensic tool to support legal evidence in a case where a child was murdered by a car impact in Abu Dhabi. The data revealed strong link between the soil samples collected from the car and from the crime site. These geoforensic indicators support the accused person story regarding possible throwing of soil materials toward the car by the children.
