Victims (Acropolis)

Murder victims, or briefly titled as Victims, are characters who have been killed intentionally, accidentally or in self-defence. They are one of the center pieces in the game, as they are the ones who usually ensue a case due to their mysterious deaths.

Gameplay
Victims are found in crime scenes, usually in the first scene. The coroner, or chief medical examiner, is usually the one who is responsible for the autopsy of the victim's body to determine the victim's cause of death, usually to gather a clue to profile the killer. In Criminal Case: Justice Department, the coroner is Dr. Graham Fraser, the player ships the victims' bodies to his morgue to be autopsied.

Victims can either be new characters that the player has never encountered before, or previous suspects who the player has encountered in some occasions - this happens in the end of a district. In some cases, a killer can become the victim.
