Figs.3-4 shows a close-up of the left breast after the excess dried blood had been washed from the body. The medical examiner counted 23 penetrating stab wounds into the upper breast and chest. There should have been 24 wounds but apparently one of the tines of the barbecue fork reentered one of the other stab wounds.

A lust murder is a homicide in which the offender searches for sexual satisfaction by killing someone. Lust murder is synonymous with the paraphilic term erotophonophilia, which is sexual arousal or gratification contingent on the death of a human being.
