What are the basic investigative techniques used to investigate homicide?

Answer:
Basic investigative technique in any crime is very much the same.
  1. Ask lots of questions of anyone who might have information about the crime.
  2. Listen carefully to the answers.
  3. Repeat.

Homicide investigation also focuses on the 24 (sometimes 48) hours immediately prior and after the killing. It's vital to know the whereabouts and activities of the victim and anyone associated with them during that time.
