dc.description.abstractThe corpus delicti means the facts of any criminal offence. The main part of the corpus delicti is the establishment of identity of the dead body and infliction of violence in a particular way, at a particular time and place, by the person on persons charged with the crime and none other. The case against the accused cannot be established unless there is convincing proof of these points. If the victim’s identity is not known, it becomes difficult for the police to solve the crime. Determination of the age of the individual comes in routine forensic practice, as the age of the victim is one of the three primary characteristics of identification. But in few cases it is not easy to opine about the age of the victim especially when we are receiving only a single bone like skull with contradictory findings. The presented case report is an attempt to discuss that how we can solve such problems by considering the other criteria’s for age estimation in skull which can be of a great use when some contradictory findings are there in remains of skeleton.en_US
