Abstract

This article reviews a series of 135 murders labelled 'necklace murders'. The period under review is that from 1 January 1985 to 31 December 1987. An attempt was made to look at the sociopolitical and historical factors which contributed to this phenomenon. Finally, a case report illustrating the value of a 'team approach' to the performance of autopsies on these victims is presented.
