That makes for an interesting analysis on the law of murder. If his prior injury was outwardly visible, then their attack on that injury may place their actions as those reasonably capable of causing the death of the victim. Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel

The case is weird actually and unless (a) the post mortem report is known and (b) The post mortem is done by a competent doctor who cannot be bribed we will not know. The boy apparently had a head injury from an accident a couple of days prior to this fight after which he was found dead with bleeding from ears and nose. From a medical standpoint bleeding from the ears could be a sign of what is called as a fracture of the "base of skull" and if the earlier head injury was that sever the boy should have had a CT scan and not sent off with some treatment. Any punches on the face would only aggravate any pre-existing injury, But I would have thought that a base of skull fracture from punches would be rare. It is possible but the punches would have to be hard enough to leave some pretty severe external damage. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/246077/no-racial-angle-manipuri- students.html > According to the police, Loitam was involved in an accident on the night of > April 15 when he was riding his friend Vishal Banerjee’s two-wheeler.
