Abstract

Robbery is intrinsically a violent crime and is defined as the original criminal plan of the perpetrator by committing robbery, by force committed on occasion or with the pretext of robbery. Strangulation by ligature occurs when an external force is applied to the neck causing various traumatic pathologies. If the injury is severe enough, cerebral perfusion and oxygen delivery are compromised and can lead to asphyxia and rapid neuronal death. These injuries can be encountered in a variety of clinical scenarios and may be present in suicide attempts, sports injuries, motor vehicle trauma, and may have implications in the fields of criminology and forensic pathology. In this case, a 66-year-old woman who was a victim of a robbery suffered a neck injury. After examination, there was a fracture in the cervical spine and was diagnosed with spinal cord trauma. As a result of this injury, the victim suffered permanent paralysis. The perpetrators of the robbery are threatened with criminal penalties under 364 KUHP and/or Article 351 No 3 KUHP.

Abstract

Background: Smothering is a form of death due to asphyxia which is caused by obstruction of air flow from the mouth and nose which can be caused by various things such as hands, air-tight paper or textiles. Homicide smothering often occurs in infants, children, vulnerable adults and individuals with limited mobility. Smothering will cause a person to die from suffocation. Case Description: The body of a 4 year 9 months old female was found smothered. On external examination, bruises resembling grips were found on both left and right upper arms, bruises resembling grips were also found on both left and right thighs. There were blackish purple bruises on the back. On internal examination, petechial bleeding was found in the heart. Discussion: Smothering is a form of asphyxia caused by obstruction of the external respiratory opening, either by hand or by other means. Apart from that, it can also be caused by blockage of the nasal and oral cavities due to the entry of foreign objects. Based on the facts obtained from the examination, injuries were found due to blunt force in the form of bruises on the upper and lower lips, back area, upper and lower arms. So it can be concluded that the victim died from suffocation due to the closure of the respiratory tract. Conclusions: External examination and autopsy of the body are very important things to do, especially in crucial cases where there is done to help seek justice for the victim.
