Abstract

Assessing stab wounds is a common task in forensic medicine. Quite often an accused claims that the victim bumped into the knife. Taking into account all the facts ascertained in the investigations conducted, such a statement can be rapidly disproved in most cases. The present case of a 14-year-old boy fatally wounded by his mother with a kitchen knife examines the aspect of walking into a knife. It is an example that this statement cannot always be regarded as implausible and that every single case has to be reconstructed in detail on the basis of all the investigation results.
