N2  - A 40-year-old lady was found dead on a road early one morning. She had allegedly been run over by a speeding vehicle. The head of the deceased had been decapitated, with egg shelling of the skull from the scalp and face. The skull was lying a little distance away from the rest of the body. Although decapitation is not an unknown entity in a road traffic accident, subsequent egg shelling of the skull, leaving behind scalp and face tissue, has not been reported in a road traffic accident in the forensic literature.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
