ANALISIS KALIUM PADA KEMATIAN AKIBAT RACUN IKAN: LAPORAN KASUS DAN TINJAUAN LITERATUR (POTASSIUM ANALYSIS IN FISH POISON MORTALITY: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW)

Murder by poison has emerged in recent years as a legal issue that significantly impacts social life. Potassium cyanide is one type of poison that reacts very quickly. This compound will paralyse the oxygen transport system and, in higher doses, can weaken the heartbeat and stop electrical activity in the brain. This literature study was conducted based on a literature review by reviewing several related literatures that aim to analyse the crime case due to fish poison containing Potassium cyanide. The results of this literature review and case analysis show that the crime of using Potassium cyanide is complex and horrific, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to understand it. Cyanide poisoning can cause intracellular hypoxic disorders with symptoms of breathlessness. Less than one minute causes anxiety, headache, dizziness, and can even reduce the level of consciousness, seizures, and coma. From the three cases mentioned, forensic analysis of fish poison containing potassium cyanide in murder victims is an important step in a multidisciplinary approach that includes determining the cause of death, reconstructing events before death based on the victim's clinical symptoms, and providing scientific evidence to support legal justice.
