Certain methods of homicide used by the Italian Mafia are intended to have an admonitory significance. One such method is the so-called "incaprettamento." This study analyzes 18 cases of homicidal ligature strangulation in which the body was found in this typical position. The circumstances of the crime and the macroscopic and microscopic evidence were evaluated to determine whether or not the ligatures on the wrists and ankles were placed antemortem or postmortem.
意大利黑手党使用的某些杀人方法具有警示意义。其中一种方法就是所谓的“捆绑折磨”。本研究分析了18例杀人勒颈案件,尸体均呈这一典型姿势被发现。对犯罪情节以及宏观和微观证据进行评估,以确定手腕和脚踝处的捆绑是在生前还是死后进行的。
