Historical murder enquiry

Stirling Police Scotland, Major Investigation Unit, Randolphfield Police Office, Stirling

This instruction related to a long term historical murder enquiry requiring an opinion relating to a number of evidential electrical components including a piece of electrical cable, and an electronic transformer/convertor used in neon lighting signs.

A detailed instruction consisted of a technical analysis of the evidential components, questions relating to whether the cable could be used in the construction and operation of neon signage and the requirement to produce a short video explaining the operation requirements of a neon sign, including the identification of all necessary component parts.

Client comment:

“We instructed Mr Kelly as an expert witness on electrical matters and specifically someone who can give an opinion on the uses of a specific electrical cable.

I initially met Mr Kelly when a colleague and I took the available historical evidence to his office, where he undertook his inspection of the electrical equipment. Mr Kelly was easy to deal with and it was clear that he understood the detailed, technical issues required in this case.

Mr Kelly’s report was clear, concise, fully supported with manufacturer’s data and this coupled with his video presentation, enabled non-technical people to understand the complicated technical issues in a practical manner.

We would not hesitate to use the services of Mr Kelly in the future”.
