Murder is ‘largest singular category’

Mobile phones are becoming crucial “witnesses” in murder, firearms and other serious criminal investigations.

That proclamation came from the Regional Security System (RSS) Digital Forensics Laboratory Manager, Richmark Deane, who told the Saturday Sun in an exclusive interview that, “digital forensics is now central to serious crime investigations, not just cybercrime.”

In 2025, out of its overall 251 cases across the region, the lab received 137 from Barbados, which accounted for 55 per cent of the total received that year.
