BRAZIL These photos, taken from Brazilian medical textbooks, depict the remains of a woman who was brutally murdered and then dismembered by her killer. While it may appear immediately obvious to an untrained eye that this is a case of homicide, forensic science operates strictly on verified facts. Even in such graphic and seemingly clear-cut cases, a full autopsy must be conducted. This is essential not only to officially confirm the cause of death but also to uncover any forensic evidence that might help identify and apprehend the person responsible.
