There was no information with this image, I assume it's a homicide rather than a suicide, but I guess anything is possible since information is limited. I think it's an interesting image and wanted to share it.



A cut or incised wound is produced by a sharp edge and is usually longer than it is deep and has impacted the body in an approximately parallel (or tangential) direction to the skin surface. Because of the sharp-force mechanism of injury, incised wounds lack tissue bridging and often display very clean sharp wound edges. Knives, box cutters, glass, and metal typically cause incised wounds. In contrast, stab wounds are sharp-force injuries produced by a pointed instrument where the depth of the wound is greater than the length of the wound on the skin. Once again, there is no tissue bridging.

Most often, the object causing the injury was moving in a slashing motion, with the angles at either end having a sharp appearance. Although it is suggested by some that the direction that an incised wound was inflicted can be easily determined, for example from right to left across the neck, this is usually not possible unless there are small tags of skin rolled up along the edge of the wound similar to abrasions that have ‘‘scuffing’’ of the skin surface. Also, despite marked differences in the nature of knife blades, for example, smooth and serrated, individual wounds are often indistinguishable from one another, although serrated blades may have associated patterned superficial abrasions. Jagged pieces of glass or objects with multiple sharp points such as barbed wire may produce more irregular-shaped injuries.
