Abstract:
The case of a 54-year-old male suffering chronic schizophrenia is reported. The deceased was found in the workshop of his house lying in a pool of blood. The blood loss was caused by several stab wounds, in particular to the neck, due to the use of a screwdriver. Additionally, two superficial cuts were detected at the front of the neck, with a wave-like course consisting of several linear scratches apparently caused by the teeth of a handsaw found near the corpse.
