title: [Suicidal stab wounds through clothing].
abstract: Most authors of medico-legal textbooks emphasize that suicides bare the chest before self-infliction of stab wounds and vice versa that cuts in the clothing indicate homicide. The paper presents three cases of suicidal stabs to the chest and/or abdomen with concomitant damage to the clothing.
