It wouldalso show the sensitivity of radiology and its efficaciousness in anthropometric measurements. To ascertain themean CI,range of maximum cranial breadth and maximum cranial length.Result: A total of 70% amongst the study population shows dolichocephalisation.The mean cephalic index in this particular study population was 73.92 ± 5.05. Maximum cranial breadth ranged from 10.4cms to 16.2cms with a mean breadth of 13.21±0.93.Maximum cranial length ranged from 15.6 cms to 20.67cms with a mean length of 17.89 ± 0.86.Conclusion: The observations and findings of the present study based on CT can be replicated in variouscommunities, castes, and regions of India. The data can also be helpful in establishment of identity particularlyrace using skeletal remains.","PeriodicalId":39136,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135006770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A record-based cross-sectional studywas conductedat the Department of Forensic Medicine, Govt T.D. Medical College, Alappuzha, Kerala, from July 2012 to July2022. Out of 8952 autopsies conducted during the study period, there were 205 cases (2.29%) of homicide. 55.62%of cases were during the first five months, from January to May. The victims were between 31-40 years in 23.9%cases and 21.46% were 21-30 years old. Out of 205 cases of homicide, 48.36% were due to blunt force injuries and38.97% by sharp force injuries. In the case of blunt force injuries, maximum involvement was to the head & face(52.55%); in sharp force injuries, involvement was highest in the chest (34.65%). The majority of the assailants weremales (73.91%). The most common alleged motive was quarrel (27.32%), closely followed by rivalry (25.85%).Thefindings of our study are mostly in agreement with the existing literature.","PeriodicalId":39136,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136373353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
