Law Enforcement Case Study - Video Retrieval - Mobile Phone Analysis

The following is an anonymised case study based on a real assignment conducted by CCL-Forensics for a Law Enforcement Agency

CCL-Forensics Ltd was asked to analyse a mobile phone in relation to a serious assault case. It was alleged that a young boy had conducted a serious assault on another child while his friend took pictures on his mobile phone. The young boy initially denied all knowledge of the incident, until the Police were informed that there was evidence on the mobile phone.

Using a wide range of specialist software, our analysts recovered the pictures in question in a forensically sound manner following ACPO guidelines. They also recovered a deleted multimedia text message sent to another child with one of the pictures attached to it.
