Abstract

A planned complex suicide is the complex action mechanism, formerly planned to protect the victim of suicide from failure. A 22-year-old female body was brought by the relative to the hospital with cut injury in the both forearms. Autopsy findings revealed cut injury in both forearms with ligature mark around the neck. Death scene investigation, Forensic science lab reports and different observations confirmed, it is a case of planned complex suicide. To the best of our knowledge combination of methods used in this case is unique and has not been reported. The sequence of events in this case was difficult to determine as both the methods used, viz. cut wrist and hanging were sufficient to cause death individually. Also the sequence of event made it more difficult to determine.
