had been stabbed five times. There was a defensive wound to the right forearm.
Two of the wounds were to the back, both 13 centimeters long and puncturing the
right lung and diaphragm and lacerating the liver. Of the two wounds from a
frontal assault, one was 15.5 centimeters long and penetrated the left upper
arm, chest, and left lung. The other was 4 centi- meters and did minor damage.
Any one of the three deeper wounds would have caused death by itself. There was
no evidence of any other type of assault, physical or sexual.
