an observation
it has always seemed to me that victims were choked rather than strangled,
before the tools came out.
a constriction choke cuts off the oxygen travelling to the brain via the carotid arteries and will put someone out in just a few seconds...and such a choke is very easy to apply IF you know how...leverage and technique over strength.
strangulation cuts off the air to the lungs,its a more physical affair and takes much longer and much more effort...
i dare say someone getting strangled is going to be thrashing,scratching and fighting,the attacker is only an arms length away from kicks,knees,the aggressor will be off balance unless driving the victim against something etc
whereas when a choke is applied from the rear,after a split second of shock/panic you are helpless to prevent your brain going to sleep
this leads me to believe that indeed the victims were choked from behind lowered to the ground when unconcious and then worked upon...
just a theory...
