Abstract

Possibility of defining one-blade knife width by chest wound skin scraps sent for laboratory investigation is presented in the article. The research was done in 1984–2002. Only those cases were considered when there was no doubt that the wounds had been inflicted by concrete knives. The perished were 52 people (40 men and 12 women).
The problem was solved how to determine the primary length of wound main part (that is what length the wound was before cutting it out from the corpse). To define it asking scrap was soaked in a spirit – acetic acid liquid (the first A. N. Ratnevsky solution). The length of the main part of a wound was measured by means of stereomicroscope MBS–9.
