Abstract
In Medicolegal Autopsies, Post-Mortem Reports (PMR) are documents prepared by a Registered Medical practitioner (RMP), pertaining to injury, sexual offence, suspected poisoning or unexplained death. To perform a medico-legal autopsy, consent from the relatives of the deceased is not required. This review article deals with the purpose of the inquest and roles of the medico-legal autopsy in young female victims of crime.
