摘要
Homicide is an extremely serious crime,and although the offender usually uses the same weapon to initially injure and complete the killing,there are exceptions.We report two cases in which a single murderer killed a victim using different weapons and summarize several situations in which a murderer might use different weapons to kill.The number of murders should be determined and estimated after a comprehensive complicated investigation of the scene,careful examination of the victim’s injuries,and evaluation of evidence reported by eyewitnesses.
