Susan asked, "How deep is the knife wound?"
"About ten centimeters."
"Was the victim stabbed to death?"
"No, the wound is deep, but there is very little blood around it, which indicates that the stabbing occurred post-mortem, and the cut marks also support this characteristic.
So, the victim likely died from strangulation."
"Was it a hanging suicide?"
Hila answered, "From the marks on the neck, it's very likely that the victim was strangled by someone, who then hung the body from a rope to create the illusion of suicide.
Moreover, we found some skin flakes inside the victim's fingernails and will attempt to extract DNA later."
Jenny pressed, "Since the victim was already strangled, why stab him in the chest afterwards?"
Hila shrugged her shoulders, "That's what you need to investigate. I'll inform you if there are new findings."
