Abstract
Background: Psychological autopsy is one of the most valuable tools in equivocal deaths.
Case Report: Hereby we present an unusual case of cut-throat injuries wherein an adult female was found dead in her house having single entry/exit which was locked from outside. On examination multiple incised wounds were found on the front aspect of the neck. Scene circumstances were equivocal.
Conclusion: Crime scene investigation and psychological autopsy plays a vital role in differentiating suicide from homicide in all cases of equivocal deaths.
