N2  - Homicide victims were studied in Ife, Nigeria, between October 1977 and December 1988. Two hundred and two cases were analysed during the period. Male to Female ratio was 4.6:1. The peak age of victims was between 20 and 40 years; 37 percent were killed with firearms, 35 percent with cutting and piercing instruments and 18% by blunt force. These findings tally favourably with observations in other places.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
