The victim was stabbed to death and dismembered thereafter by the perpetrator. No further info. Stab wounds and penetrating injuries are of major importance in forensic pathology, as they are extremely common in homicide. In Britain, stabbing with a knife is easily the most frequent mode of murder and manslaughter, primarily in domestic disputes and street violence. A stab wound is an incised wound that is deeper than it is wide. Though many penetrate only the skin and subcutaneous tissues, those seen by forensic pathologists are most often fatal, having entered vital deep structures. Knives are the weapons most frequently involved and their physical characteristics are important in shaping the wound.
