Manchester Concert Bombing: Cops, MI-5 Conducted ‘By-the-Book’ Crime Scene Processing +Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Jim Kouri  /  Conservative Base

At least 20 people have been killed and about 50 others injured at the Manchester Arena in England after an “explosion” was reported during American pop-star 

Ariana Grande’s soldout concert, the Greater Manchester Police say.

“This [bombing] is currently being treated as a terrorist incident until police know otherwise,” police declared in a statement only hours after the attack.

British authorities on Tuesday identified the suicide bomber who launched the deadly attack. Only a few hours after the incident the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the blast.  Salman Abedi, 22, was identified as the man who detonated an improvised explosive device at about 10:30 p.m. local time Monday, killing more than 20 people, some of them children, and injuring dozens more, Manchester police confirmed in a news conference on Tuesday. An 8-year-old girl was among the dead.

“This [bombing] is currently being treated as a terrorist incident until police know otherwise,” police declared in a statement.

Witnesses told police officers and investigators from the secretive MI-5, Britain’s internal security and intelligence department, that a tremendously loud explosion triggered screams, panic and a stampede of concert-goers trying to leave the venue, which is said to be one of the world’s largest arenas.

Once the emergency response teams – police, fire, medical – have their situations under control, the tedious and necessarily slow process of “working the crime scene” begins for investigators. In the case of the Manchester bombing, that entails members of the police force and agents with Britain’s security service MI-5.

While police officers in jurisdictions throughout the United States and European nations follow their own SOPs (standard operating procedures) for arson and explosion investigations, they usually include many similarities. In fact, many law enforcement officers from cities throughout the nation have traveled to London’s Scotland Yard or to training facilities in Israel to train and exchange information with their counterparts.

Upon arriving at the scene of an explosion, investigators will immediately consult with the emergency personnel and familiarize themselves with the facts. The area will be thoroughly canvassed for witnesses. Witnesses may be found anywhere within the vicinity of the bomb blast. Once survivors are triaged and transported to a hospital, investigators will begin interviewing bomb victims.

Additional witnesses to interview will include: the first police officers at the scene; maintenance workers and other employees and residents within the premises; residents and employees of adjoining or adjacent buildings; delivery men, cab drivers, transients, and anyone who frequents or walks through the area.

Manchester cops assist bomb victim out of the arena.

Detectives and officers will also canvass the area for all license plates or motor vehicles parked within the area of the explosion. They will also check with all utility companies for any emergency crews that may have been working in the area of the bomb blast. In short, anyone who may have even the smallest piece of information will be interviewed by detectives and assisting uniformed officers. And investigating officers will double check to make sure that they have all the necessary information before concluding the neighborhood canvass. If close-circuit television cameras are installed in the areas of the attacks, the videotapes will be viewed and analyzed.

If investigators take all of the required steps and follow the aforementioned format, they will find that they are able to answer questions from their commanding officers, and in the event that arrests are made, their case folders will be helpful in the preparation of the eventual prosecution and adjudication of the bomb incident suspects.

Police sketches are usually made of the locality, the adjacent area, and the immediate bomb scene. It is not unusual for a detective to make several sketches of each location in order to portray the many details of a crime scene. A dotted line beginning at the point of entry and continuing throughout the entire scene and terminating at the point of departure may be drawn on one sketch to represent movements of a suspect. Another sketch of the same scene may be drawn to indicate the relationships existing between the various items of evidence.

The locality sketch covers the area in the neighborhood of the bombing. It may indicate the path of flight of an offender or his direction of approach to the crime scene. The area sketch is a reproduction of the immediate crime scene such as the room in which a homicide was committed, or the location of a traffic accident. This sketch shows all physical details immediately relating to the crime – evidence, point of impact and the like.

Even though a photograph makes a clear reproduction of a scene, it possesses certain limitations. The pictures, which are two-dimensional, lack depth and fail to provide an accurate representation of the distance between important items. Furthermore. the camera angle and distance from which the picture is taken may lead to false interpretations of critical relationships between objects.

First responders set up a number of areas to triage victims of the terrorist bombing.

The usefulness of a photograph is further limited when items can’t be clearly identified, either because they blend into the background or because they are hidden by shadows. A camera will also reproduce all objects within its range. This lack of selectivity, especially in a highly cluttered crime scene, will detract from the effectiveness of a photograph. Investigators can successfully reproduce scenes by supplementing photographs with sketches. Used together, the sketch and the photos complement one another.

In most police departments and law-enforcement agencies, crime scene sketches are divided into rough and finished drawings. Although these sketches vary greatly in appearance, they share a common denominator. Each shows the exact location of the evidence and other objects found within a crime scene

Measuring devices such as rulers, yardsticks and tape measures are often placed within the area to be photographed at a bomb scene in order to show relative size, the distance between objects, or the actual degree of enlargement. These markers are placed alongside objects so that they will easily be seen yet not obscure any part of the evidence. It is advisable to then first take photographs without markers, then to proceed to mark the crime scene as much as desired.

Police cordoned-off access and exit points surrounding the arena

Markers can prove to be of significant value at a trial when the photographs are admitted in evidence. For instance, a three or six foot ruler placed alongside a hole in a roof through which entry was gained gives the viewers an indication as to the size of the opening. The photograph can be used to counter arguments that the opening was too small to allow the defendant entry into the building.

The purpose of bomb scene photography is to provide a photographic record of the facts and to allow viewers to obtain a better understanding of the crime itself: How it was committed, the setting, the manner in which particular evidence is related to the suspect or to the bombing, and other aspects of the investigation.

Photographs are taken of all evidence or conditions the investigator is trained to discover during a routine bomb/crime scene search. If a technician is used to photograph the explosion site, the detective or investigating officer should then direct the picture taking.

As many photos as possible will be taken. The more pictures that are available, the greater the likelihood that a photo may be found to contain some significant information that may have been overlooked during the crime scene search. The availability of a number of pictures also allows the detectives and the prosecutor a wider choice of selection to better present a point at issue or having the necessary qualities to complement the testimony presented to the court.

Crime scene photography involves a series of pictures taken from various points of view that usually present a general view, a medium view and close-ups. The shots should be taken at varying distances depending upon the object. The photographs are generally introduced in conjunction with crime scene sketches or scale drawings.

Two of the more common obstructions investigators encounter are: the absence of eyewitness testimony to the commission of the crime – the bomber usually uses a detonation device that allows ample time to flee the scene before detonation occurs; or his act is committed at night when the chance of being apprehended is reduced; and the explosion, collapsing walls and the general disturbance of the bomb scene by first-responders will generally obliterate or destroy most, if not all, of the criminal’s traces.

      FALSE FLAG FILMED, EDITED, AND READY FOR RELEASE: TARGET: LONDON

      Wednesday, May 24, 2017 11:52

      London activated 1000 troops

      There are now 1000 troops active on London’s streets, with thousands more scheduled to activate. Now perhaps we have the real reason for the false flag terror attack. They need troops in place for something upcoming that is very big and is going to anger the public badly.

      Even if the terror bombing was real, there is absolutely no precedent for having the military respond and put the CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW. 40 years ago the Irish Republican Army was staging attacks frequently, and the military was not deployed in such a way to handle it. There is something seriously amiss with this, something huge is in the works.

      The reports are that the TROOPS ARE CONSPICUOUSLY PLACED, and are stated to be there to stop “terrorist bombings”. However, If you want to deploy people to stop bombings, you don’t hand them a huge gun, put them in military garb, and say GO FOR IT, because that only makes who to avoid obvious to whoever wants to do a bombing. If there was a legitimate deployment to stop bombing incidents, everyone deployed would be in PLAIN CLOTHES to keep any bomber completely oblivious to the fact he might get caught

      My guess is that the troops were instead PLACED to SCARE the PUBLIC, and that this false flag was done to excuse putting them on the streets. Now, when the government pulls something big, like defying the people’s will on Brexit the military has already been placed to keep control, and no one will question why they are already there.

      usually after major terror attacks paris is the first country to light up the eiffel tower to show solidarity, so far no response from france

    • Cletis

      Nothing adds up.
      No surveillance footage, no signs of an explosion, no cellphone uploads, but loads of crisis actors.
      Looks like a classic israeli co-ordinated government sponsored PSYOP to me.

        In what sense, a fake false flag or an operation to spin a successful one from critical Islamic takeover to lone fruit case back from Syria(IS) – not of course from the ever so friendly white helmeted Muslim Brotherhood Free Syrian Army :mrgreen: .

        • DK

          P.S. pre 1970 there was no Islamic terror, there was also no Islamic community in Manchester other than foreign students.

          We have this thing called a D notice, everything is censored, look up Blair Mandelson with the term Hamster. which never made front page of the Mirror.

      hoax not false flag – gradual mental conditioning has been going on like this for a while now…until you are ready to voluntarily take the microchip. I don’t know why these people have taken control…maybe they always have been in control? :roll:
