Paraffin Casting

Today, May 7, 2007, Ma'am Vicky let us observe a paraffin testing. Last Friday, I and Isabelle observed paraffin casting. Today, we had test the paraffin cast they have made from last Friday casting. Ma'am Vicky applied DPA( a solid substance + H2SO4 ). If the victim do really fire a gun, there would be a color blue that will come from the cast. However, the result of the test was negative, there were no color blue thing that came out from the cast. Ma'am Vicky explained to us how things happen in the paraffin casting and testing. She also told us when they would not execute Paraffin casting and explained why. Ma'am said they would not cast a paraffin on dead people who was already "balsamar" neither they will cast a paraffin on a person who is suspected to fire a gun in more than 72 hours.

Also today, Mark Carlo reported to the agency.
