Traffic injury or attempted infanticide?
Two sewing needles were found in a woman's cranial cavity by X-ray examination after she had sustained traffic injury. After investigation and analysis, it has been confirmed that the sewing needles were inserted by others when she was an infant, and not by the traffic injury.
