This case also underwent autopsy at Medical college,Trichur. during 1989-90 period. A case under kodakara crime was brought for pm examination with an H/O railway accident. The injuries that I noticed donot match with the pattern of injury in railway accident,viz bilateral testicular contusions, cane marks spread over different parts of the body, abrasion caused by thorn, bilateral rib # at various levels, Contusion lips with laceration of mucosal aspects of lips,old healing subdural hematoma. More over the stomach was empty & the mucosa pale with a garlicky odour simulating zincphosphide. Chemical analysis turned out to be +ve for zincphosphide. Final opinion was given as the deceased died of zincphosphide poisoning & the injuries fond on the body except abraions & cane mark are independantly sufficient to cause death.
Investigation revealed the person belonging to Vadakara & he left the place telling that he is going to sabarimala. Prior to the day when the body was found near the railway track, he was seen wandering near the Aloor railway gate & he himself bought one fish from a vendor selling fish & was seen sqeezing the fish over the injuries on his mouth. He recived the injuries on the day prior to his presence at railway gate. Because of the old subdural hremorrhage he waas not oriented in space & time & he went to a house where preprations for a marriage was going on. Youngsters there manhandled him by his bizaare behaviour & sent him out.During the same night after he visited the raiway gate ,once again he went to the same house , the very same boys caught him & tied his hands over his back & made to walk along the railway tract& gave him good kicks over the gentials. The police were able to proove the manner of production of injuries except the manner in which he was poisoned. The persons involved were concerned with horticulture.The investigating officer even made a request that I should ommit the role of poisoning & include the fact that the deceased died of injuries sustained. I told him a very big NO.
When the case was heard in the court, the prosecution as well as defence didnot have anything to ask & the case was acquitted.

A good attempt by Dr. Rajaram. I know him personally. He is a very good teacher and an exponent in his field. The rare spelling mistakes may be the victims of his first attempt. Use of simple words and sentences are more appreciable for narration. Wish you all the best
Thanks for the comments
