Results Homicidal injury was noted in 54.28 % and accidental injuries were noted in 45.71. Therapeutic laparotomy was performed in 73.68 % of homicidal injuries and 50% of accidental injuries and non therapeutic laparotomy was performed in 21.05% of homicidal injury and 43.75 % of accidental injuries.Hollow viscus injury was noted in 52.63% of homicidal injury and 50% of accidental injury, solid organ injury was noted in 26.31% homicidal injury and 6.25% accidental injury.
