A critical analysis of stab wound on the chest A case report. Journal of Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine. 2004 Apr; 26(2): 77-79.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/134671Penetrating Injuries on the chest may be homicidal, suicidal or accidental in nature. There are certain features that are quite reliable pointers to the nature of these injuries. However differentiation is difficult particularly when the characteristics of stabbing are perplexed and information related to circumstances of the incident is misguiding.
