Suicides disguised as homicides through weapon concealment: A two‐way copycat phenomenon...
Suicides disguised as homicides present a persistent challenge in forensic case analysis, particularly when the weapon is deliberately removed after discharge. This study investigates the evolution of weapon concealment techniques — specifically the "load‐and‐rope" an...
EMBNet: Multi‐scale feature learning with efficient channel attention for deepfake speech...
With the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence, deepfake speech has emerged as a significant threat to digital audio authenticity, posing challenges for forensic analysis and legal applications. In this study, we propose EMBNet, a task‐oriented deepfake speech d...
Honey bee sting deaths at medicolegal autopsy: A case series demonstrating variable...
Bee sting deaths represent an uncommon but important forensic problem because death may follow either anaphylaxis after only a few stings or toxic envenomation after massive attacks, while autopsy findings may be subtle and nonspecific. We present three fatal medicolegal autopsy ...
Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)
In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of ...

Unified frequency and graph learning framework for accurate and robust copy‐move image...
Copy‐move forgery (CMF) is one of the most prominent challenges to be addressed by digital image forensics experts today due to the ease with which forged objects can be copied and placed within the same image to conceal or replicate objects. The conventional approaches to detect...
