A 46-year-old woman who was stabbed in the neck, died of carotid haemorrhage and then was partially burned in a fire initiated with accelerant substances (criminal intent). a PMCT coronal reconstruction shows a deep laterocervical wound with clean edges (asterisk).

Note the second stab wound next to the left subclavicular fossa (dashed arrow). b Volume rendering reconstruction shows better the clean edges of the wound
