Abstract

There are many views and studies as to the motive, manner, and victim of homicide, which is one of the severest forms of violence. The case presented here is that of a man who was strangled with a nylon ligature by his prison cellmate who later stabbed his victim's eyes with a piece of wood and a nail and slashed his face. The study is presented with respect to how the murder was committed and how the defendant was evaluated.
