Abstract

Penetrating injuries of the body are most commonly the result of injury/wounds and are often associated with a range of potentially life threatening injuries. In every physical assault, no matter it led to death or not, the attacker had produced/left different types of marks in the victim's body that could be helpful to reconstruct the crime scene and guide to determine the cause of death. In the present study, we have demonstrated some examples of injuries/wounds found of the victim's body with illustrative photos. These provide a proper and useful data for the forensic crime scene investigators.
