Other wounds included slashes or stabs to the face and the side of the head. There was also evidence of "humiliation" injuries, including a pelvic wound likely to have been caused by an upward thrust of a weapon, through the buttock.

Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the parking lot buried.
