CONCLUSION

DNA profiling serves as vital evidence enhancing the criminal justice

system’s accuracy by identifying potential suspects, linking suspects

to the crime, identification of the unidentified body or human remains,

etc. It serves as the gold standard for individualising victims even when

the body is highly fragmented, degraded, and extremely damaged, as in

fire incidents.
This study demonstrated the utility of PCR amplification of STR loci

when involved in the investigation of mass casualties when reference

DNA samples are available, providing rapid potential identification of

human remains.
