Features of forensic medical examination in the study of stab wounds in exhumed corpses (experimental study)

The results showed that the morphological properties of stab wounds of the skin, which were immersed in the ground at a temperature of +13-15 °C and the pH of the earth 9.0, vary depending on the duration of the corpse's stay in the ground. Identification capabilities for determining the instrument of injury from stab wounds of the skin that have been exposed to the earth depend on the duration of the corpse's stay in the ground. After 7 days of finding a corpse in the ground, individual signs of stab wounds disappear; after 14 days, group signs change; the presence of a corpse in the ground for 30 days leads to their complete disappearance; the presence of a corpse in the ground for 50 days leads to the complete disappearance of species signs.
