Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Criminal poisoning is uncommon and the use of anaesthetic and related drugs for this purpose is very rare. Seven cases, involving the use of morphine, chloroform, hyoscine, thiopental, and succinylcholine, are described. In three cases the accused was found guilty of murder, in two guilty of manslaughter, in two not guilty and in one the verdict is not known. |
