“…Three calf sections were obtained from each leg. To avoid wound contamination by bone fragments [11], soft tissues were carefully separated from the bones with a scalpel, and the resulting cavity was filled with pieces of muscle and their surrounding fat excised from the thigh.…”

“…Recently, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), a radiological technique which provides greater spatial resolution with respect to clinical computed tomography [7], has also been utilized for the examination of gunshot wounds in human skin, in order to perform tridimensional reconstructions of the spatial distribution of gunshot residues (GSR) particles [8][9][10][11].…”

“…Dyadic deaths are relatively unusual: the global rate ranges between 0.02 and 0.46 per 100,000 per year, with significant national and regional variations. 2 In most dyadic deaths, the perpetrator is male and their victims are female, and usually intimate partners, while children are less commonly involved. 3 Most take place at the perpetrator or victim's home.…”

Filicide-suicide: An unusual variant of dyadic death

Dyadic suicides may be committed simultaneously or one after another by two or more people who may or may not have made a prior pact. The perpetrator is usually male and their victims female, and generally their intimate partners, with children less commonly involved. Another distinct type of homicide-suicide is the killing of children by a parent (filicide-suicide). The terms 'maternal filicide' or 'paternal filicide' are used respectively when the perpetrator is the mother or the father of the victim. We report a rare case of maternal filicide, where the mother drowned her three children and then herself in the same water tank. The case highlights the extreme stress put on a mother of girls in a patriarchal society where there is an overriding expectation and wish for sons. The resulting pressure on this mother for her 'failure' caused her to take her own and her children's lives.

“…Dyadic deaths are an uncommon occurrence in forensic casework. The rate of dyadic deaths around the world ranges from 0.02 to 0.46 per 100,000 populations per year, with significant national and regional variations (Viero et al 2014). This rate ranges from 0.06 per 100,000 persons per year in England and Wales to 0.38 per 100,000 in Japan.…”

Background: Dyadic suicides comprise of suicides occurring simultaneously or one after another in two or more people, either with an agreement or without one. Firearms, poisoning, hanging, and drowning are the preferred methods of suicide employed in such cases. Investigation of dyadic deaths remains a challenge for the investigators especially in concluding on the cause and manner of death. Case presentation: We report a case of dyadic suicide where hanging was used by a couple to end their lives. Post-mortem mutilation of the tongue in female and ante-mortem injuries to the fingertips in male helped in the reconstruction of events in this case. Conclusion: Death scene reconstruction and exploring the sequence of events prior to the death are paramount in the investigation of dyadic deaths not only to conclude on the exact cause and manner of death but also to ascertain if the deaths were simultaneous or one after another.
