A 68-year-old woman died in the Babruisk district after using an angle grinder to cut boards in the yard of her home.
The woman’s daughter had taken livestock out to pasture. When she returned, she found her mother lying on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood with a severe leg wound. The woman could not be saved.
A forensic examination found that the woman died from acute blood loss caused by a laceration and contusion to the lower part of her right leg, which severed the posterior tibial artery. The injury was inflicted by an object with a cutting action. No traces of alcohol were found in the victim’s blood, the State Forensic Examination Committee reported.
