Multiple irregularly distributed deep stab wounds to the head and back: homicide by a perpetrator suffering from paranoid psychosis. No further info. In the case of death caused by stab wounds, diffusely distributed stab wounds are found particularly when resistance has been shown, often to body regions inaccessible to the victim’s own hands, such as the back, and combined with defense wounds. Multiple stab wounds, in some cases exceeding 100, permit inferences to be made about the psychological status of the perpetrator; thus, the presence of psychiatric disease in a suspect needs to be considered in any evaluation of a case.
