The forensic pathologists have a challenging task during the ascertainment of the manner of death in cut throat injuries when presented
with no proper history or witnesses. We report a rare homicide, where a person w as killed by the father of his gay partner. A 51 -year-old
married man was found dead in his car on the driving seat at a road. There were blood stains on the dash board and windscreen. No
weapon had been recovered. At autopsy, a deep, oblique, long incised injury was found on the front of the neck. There were no hesitant
or defense injuries. The cause of death w as cut throat. The findings were compatible with a homicidal cut throat by a right handed person
from behind after head being restrained firmly. Findings were compatible with the history provided by the suspect.
