Deposing before a CBI court in Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case, a former forensic science expert said on Monday that there is a possibility the deep cuts on the teenager and the domestic help's throats could have been inflicted with a 'Khukuri' (Nepalese knife). Dr R K Sharma, former head of the department of forensic science at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), told the court of Additional Sessions Judge Shyam Lal, that Aarushi's post-mortem report mentioned 'sliced carotid artery' and it is difficult to slit it using a scalpel, as the artery is deep inside the neck. A khukuri is a sharp-edged and winding knife, Mr Sharma said, adding that one stroke using a khukuri can slit throat. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/aarushi-s-throat-could-have-been-slit-using-khukuri-forensic-expert-tells-court-389569 http://www.mumbaimirror.com/news/india/Aarushi-case-No-way-was-scalpel-used-in-murders-expert-tells-court/articleshow/20982696.cms
