SCHOOLCHILDREN have solved the mystery of a drug dealer's murder.

Year 8 pupils at Bancroft's School in High Road, Woodford Green, became forensic experts for a day to investigate the fictitious crime.

They examined evidence using an autopsy report, fingerprints, ballistics, DNA and other evidence on May 21.

Education Interactive ran the lesson as part of the science curriculum.
