Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 21-year-old girl was fatally injured by her 25-year-old brother-in-law, who was deeply in love with her. She was shot in the abdomen with a locally-made pistol. The man then shot himself in the front of his head with the same gun. He died on the spot while the girl, who was seriously injured, died in hospital two days later. Police recovered two empty cartridges from the alleged site that had the names of the boy and girl written on them in blue ink. Although shooting is the most common method of homicide and subsequent suicide, to the authors' knowledge the case described here is unique and has not been reported elsewhere in the literature. |
