abstract="Three rape homicide cases and two cases of attempted rape homicide involving children investigated in the Bonn University Institute of Forensic Medicine from 1992 to 1996 are described in order to assess whether characteristic features were present. The victims were girls aged from 3 to 12 years old. At autopsy haematomas, contusions and/or lacerations of the external/internal genitalia or anus confirmed sexual assault. Extragenital injuries found in every case included bruises, haematomas, abrasions and incised wounds caused by resisting, to struggling and manual pressure or gripping. Each death was caused by manual or ligature strangulation. The evidential value of the anogenital injuries encountered at autopsy is discussed and compared with the physical signs found at clinical examination.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
