In this case the police had requested that so called panch witnesses respectable persons verify the authenticity of the handwriting.
The definition of who qualifies as an expert is, however, a rather loose one and it frequently happens that those who have been called to certify the authenticity of a handwriting sample say in court that they do not know how to read.

Abstract In this paper I focus on particular kinds of texts that may be found in court files on suicides and are commonly known as suicide notes, that is notes supposedly written by a person who has allegedly committed suicide and who wrote down their reason for taking their own life. Index terms Keywords: suicide notes , courts of law , dowry deaths , judicial writing.

The oth We know that those at risk for suicide do not necessarily want to die, but do want help in reducing the pain they are experiencing so that they can go on to lead productive, fulfilling lives. Often suicidal people are experiencing intolerable emotional pain, which they believe to be unrelenting.
They often feel hopeless and trapped. By helping them to recognize and explore alternatives to dying, you are planting the seeds of hope that things can improve. There is no research evidence that indicates talking to people about suicide, in the context of care, respect, and prevention, increases their risk of suicidal ideation or suicidal behaviours.
Research does indicate that talking openly and responsibly about suicide lets a potentially suicidal person know they do not have to be alone, that there are people who want to listen and who want to help.
Most people are relieved to finally be able to talk honestly about their feelings, and this alone can reduce the risk of an attempt. It is best to treat talk and threats about suicide seriously. These signals often include making a joke or threat about suicide, or making a reference to being dead. If we do take them seriously and ask them if they mean what they are saying, the worst that can happen is we will learn that they really were joking. Not asking could result in a far worse outcome.
Yes certainly. My story of suicide bereavement involves a friend and business colleague. But there was enough indication there for me to realise this was a serious situation. Notes often take the form of an apology to exonerate close relatives and to relieve survivors of any responsibility.
Yeah, yeah. That time has now come. What I have done has relieved me of a great burden which genuinely could not have been lifted any other way. All my love, Matt. Research suggests see Wertheimer , p. However, none of the people we talked to said that they were upset by the notes they found. Some people had found them comforting. The police gave Lucreta a note that they found on her daughter, Dionne who had renamed herself Dominique just before she died.
She also found a note in one of Dionne's diaries which Lucreta was glad to have and a poem written by her daughter.
She had a note on her when she died, but I had to go back to my previous home and I just knew as a mother there was something there.
You will be proud of me. Goodbye, friend and bosom of my heart, I love you and wish you the best of luck in the future, love Dionne. Dionne is a survivor who has positivity in some areas even though often not visible. I love you Mum, keep your chin up. Pain is something that hits, breaks, ruins and shatters all of us. It is something that we all feel in one form or another. We inflict pain through feeling pain.
It is easier to give pain than to abstain from giving it. You have the right to get all of these possessions back once the investigation is complete. As part of the investigation, the police will want to question you. You should cooperate with them, but you have every right to ask them to conduct their investigation quickly and sensitively.
If you are the immediate next of kin but not the person who discovered and identified the body at the scene of the suicide, you will be asked to identify the body either in person or through photographs. You may choose not to identify the body yourself and ask someone else to do so.
Even if the body has already been identified, you have the right to view it, and also to request that the coroner or medical examiner give you time alone with your loved one. Research conducted with people who chose to view the body indicates that most survivors later on feel they made the right decision in doing so. While they may forever carry that last image in their mind, they also feel that the experience helped them come to terms with the reality of the death.
But this comes down to a difficult and obviously stressful decision on your part — take your time, and try, as best you can, to decide what will be best for you in the long run.
