Locating and identifying human cadaver in clandestine graves can be a very timeconsuming
process especially when it involves a wide area. The process is further
hampered by various factors that may be environmental as well as manmade. The current
methods are using canines as well as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to determine the
location of graves. However, both methods are not 100% fool proof as they involve a
significant amount of guess-work. The system which is known as CHAVET is a method
that calls for the testing of soil using chemicals produced from decomposition of human
cadaver. It will have a library of data pre-installed to be compared to the data collected
from suspected soil locations in order to give a calculated result that has taken into
account the risk factors that will negatively affect the result. Thus, the system will be able
to aid in forensic investigation work.
