A small piece of broken glass was of considerable help in differentiating the culprit from another suspect in an interesting murder case. Indian women often wear glass bangles for religious and social reasons. In Europe and Asian countries, these ornaments are increasing in popularity. Because women are becoming more frequently involved in criminal acts, and these bangles are fragile, fragments are being found more often at scenes of crime. Establishing the association between recovered fragments of bangle and their owners is a difficult, time-consuming process.
