Real Life Murders Get Their Own Game

It's kind of an MMO. Just like Warcraft, but for crime professionals and with less ganking...
It’s a funny old game, the murder game. And now the murder game is literally a game thanks to some supremely blue sky thinking – a turn of phrase which officially makes us tossers. A 3D recreation of crime scenes is to be created and made available online to the world’s CSIs who can then log in, explore the scene and share their thoughts with other visitors. Sort of like Home, only for psychopaths.
According to Reuters, “They will use IC-CRIME's laser scanner technology and the Unity platform (which recently enjoyed the release of a freeware version) to recreate the crime scene as closely as possible. The crime scene will then be hosted for multiple remote crime scene investigators to explore concurrently.”
“Plum did it. With the mouse in the internet cafe”
It’s a marvellous idea, but one that no matter how its explained, sounds a lot like Cluedo.
