Abstract

We report this case where a 16 year boy killed a four year old toddler by inflicting 105 distinct stab wounds over his forehead, chest and abdomen with a scissor. The mother of the victim had an on-going extramarital sexual relationship with the juvenile. The constant presence of the victim during sexual act developed frustration in mind of the accused. He had made a plan and killed the toddler when family members were away from home. We also discussed about pattern stab wounds caused by scissor.
