Prisoner exchanges may yet save the face of a flawed investigation – Odessa
The 2nd May 2014 tragedy in Odessa was witnessed by the blog from beginning to end.
The crime scenes were compromised from the start.
The police investigation and leading prosecutors went from Odessa to Kyiv and back again over the years since.
No doubt the integrity of the evidence chain will have been compromised too in relation to certain exhibits – many of which will have been compromised before they were collected anyway.
In short, if a lesson was to be given to police recruits, crime scene investigators, detectives, and Senior Investigating Officers (SIOs) in how not to carry out an investigation, then the Odessa 2nd May investigation would be high upon a list of examples.
