A positive identification of a homicide victim was made possible by observing an inconspicuous Casio watch worn by the deceased. Identification of deceased individuals are usually made by fingerprints or dental matching, visual means, DNA studies, X-rays of other bodily structures, tattoos, etc. When all of these methods fail and no suspects are known, medical examiners are caught between Charybdis and Scilla. This assumes greater importance in cases of homicides. It is the purpose of this paper to present a homicide case in which an identification was made by observing an inconspicuous object, a small Casio watch worn by the deceased.
通过观察死者佩戴的一块不显眼的卡西欧手表，得以成功确认了一名凶杀案受害者的身份。通常通过指纹、牙齿比对、视觉辨认、DNA检测、其他身体结构的X光片、纹身等方式来识别死者身份。当所有这些方法都失效且没有已知嫌疑人时，法医就会陷入两难境地。这在凶杀案中显得尤为重要。本文旨在呈现一个凶杀案案例，其中通过观察一个不显眼的物品——死者佩戴的一块小型卡西欧手表——进行了身份识别。
