TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Homicide by bow and arrow JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Germerott, Tanja A1 - Jänisch, Stefanie A1 - Troger, Hans Dieter A1 - Gunther, Detlef SP - 181 EP - 187 VL - 225 IS - 5-6 N2 - Since the invention of firearms, arrow wounds represent a rarity in the daily routine of forensic pathologists. In the present paper, we describe a homicide by a broadhead arrow shot from a compound bow in a domestic environment. Based on this homicide, we discuss the characteristics of the lesion caused by broadhead arrows and field-tip arrows. We look critically at the free saleability of this equipment mostly used for sport shooting in Germany.
