초록
Forensic interpretation of whether the manner of death is suicide or homicide is very important in death cases due to multiple gunshot wounds. We analyzed 18 death cases from multiple gunshot wounds with Korean military rifles (K-1 and K-2) in the Republic of Korea Army from 2000 to 2011. In cases of the suicide, distance of gun from the body was all contact or near-contact range, except for 1 case of near range. When the selector was set to single shot, the initial entrance wounds were formed on the typical suicidal areas. The bullet tracks, however, did not involve the anatomical regions that would cause immediate incapacitation. The following entrance wounds also were sustained on the typical suicidal areas while the bullet tracks were made in the immediate incapacitation regions. When the selector was set to precision shot or multiple shot, the initial entrance wounds were located on typical suicidal areas, and the entrance wounds resulting from following bullets were gradually moving away form the initial entrance wound due to pop-up effect of the rifle. In cases of the homicide,distance of gun from the body was all distant range and the location of entrance wounds were not significantly related to typical suicidal areas.
Abstract
Forensic interpretation of whether the manner of death is suicide or homicide is very important in death cases due to multiple gunshot wounds. We analyzed 18 death cases from multiple gunshot wounds with Korean military rifles (K-1 and K-2) in the Republic of Korea Army from 2000 to 2011. In cases of the suicide, distance of gun from the body was all contact or near-contact range, except for 1 case of near range. When the selector was set to single shot, the initial entrance wounds were formed on the typical suicidal areas. The bullet tracks, however, did not involve the anatomical regions that would cause immediate incapacitation. The following entrance wounds also were sustained on the typical suicidal areas while the bullet tracks were made in the immediate incapacitation regions. When the selector was set to precision shot or multiple shot, the initial entrance wounds were located on typical suicidal areas, and the entrance wounds resulting from following bullets were gradually moving away form the initial entrance wound due to pop-up effect of the rifle. In cases of the homicide,distance of gun from the body was all distant range and the location of entrance wounds were not significantly related to typical suicidal areas.
