Abstract: Violence against women and children still occurs in Indonesia. Some of them resulted in serious injuries and deaths. We reported a 13-year-old woman found dead in a well after missing for two days. The victim was buried immediately by the family after being found since there was no suspicion of homicide. Albeit, the police investigation developed into a homicide suspicion, therefore, an exhumation was carried out seven days after the death. There was no sign of violence on external inspection. Internal examination revealed bruising on the right cranium, reddened right brain tissue, and incomplete fracture at the base of the right cranium confirmed as intravital injury by microscopic examination. The pulmonary diatom examination showed negative result, therefore, the victim was pronounced dead before being put into the well. Spermatozoa’s heads were found on the vaginal swab microscopic examination. In conclusion, the cause of death was a blunt trauma to the head by homicide. The victim died more than 24 hours from the time of examination.Keywords: violence against woman; advantage of exhumation
