N2  - Stabbing is one of the commonest means of homicide. Everyone prefers a painless death and stabbing is not a preferred means of suicide, especially for a female. In this paper, a case of an 18 years old girl who was found dead in a pool of blood on a bed inside a locked room under suspicious circumstances with multiple stab injuries to the abdomen is presented. A thorough post-mortem examination plays a crucial role in assisting the investigating agency to arrive at the possible manner of death. In such a case with multiple abdominal stab injuries, only after a meticulous autopsy, it was labelled as a case of suicide. Self-stabbing is comparatively uncommon and there is a male predominance over female and amongst the female self-inflicted stabbing cases, the one with multiple stab injuries is even rarer, and this paper is presented considering extreme rarity of such a case.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
