| Abstract | A mongoloid male body was discovered under the water. The uncovered chopped wounds were found at the chin, hand, neck and knee. The body was decomposed with exposed facial bones. The examiners needed to identify who the victim was and the time of death. Where the death took place (primary crime scene or secondary crime scene)? What was the cause and manner of death? The presence of vital reaction in chopped wounds could determine when the injury occurred and whether during antemortem or postmortem conditions. Vital reactions were originally checked by optic microscopic examination, additional histochemistry markers, enzymatic markers and biochemistry markers. The examinations were limited due to autolysis and putrefaction including hence blood and chemicals would have been washed away. The defense wound found on the victim's right hand played the most important role in this case and proved that the victim was conscious when the homicide took place. The defensive chopped wound would be different characteristics from thewound which may have been caused by a boat propeller. |
