Abstract

Forensic medicine specialists use their expertise to identify artifacts and avoid its misinterpretation. This is vital in carrying out justice as any misinterpretation of findings can derail the investigation. We report a case where an artifact resembled a firearm/shotgun injury that raised a suspicion of an alleged homicide.
