A dozen human pieces – case report on a gruesome murder
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Dentistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The case material consisted of 12 (twelve) unidentified human body parts received in 2 lots under 2 different reference numbers on different dates. The first lot consisted of 4 human body parts and the second lot consisted of 8human body parts brought under different forwarding letters, inquest reports and dead body challans, separately for each part. Each part was examined individually to find out whether they belong to a single and the same individual or else wise. Age and sex of each part was approximated. All the body parts (part-1 to part-12) were reconstructed and their complexion, contour, built, morphological structure, status of rigor mortis and direction of hairs and anatomical alignment were compared. Finally we came to the conclusion that though the body parts were brought under separate References, forwarding letter, inquest reports and dead body challans, yet all the 12(twelve) body parts belonged to a single and same individual. Photographs were taken for superimposition; muscle tissue samples from each of the parts were preserved in normal saline along with the right femur for DNA analysis.
