Familicides in slovenia - the analysis and comparison of selected slovenian cases

Družina je skupnost, v kateri bi morala prevladovati brezpogojna ljubezen, zaupanje, medsebojno razumevanje in podpora. Čustva članov družine se med seboj neizogibno prepletajo, medosebne emocije so torej razpete na vse aspekte družinskih odnosov in tako vplivajo na številne družinske interakcije. Zaradi kompleksnosti družinskega življenja pogosto prihaja do raznovrstnih konfliktov v skupnosti ali celo do različnih oblik nasilja v družini. Našteti dejavniki so pogosto povod umora v družini. Dejanje je lahko spodbujeno z določenim motivom, ki je velikokrat v povezavi z maščevanjem, ljubosumjem, ekonomskimi koristmi ali le kot odgovor na nezadovoljstvo z družinskimi razmerami. Storilci umora v družini so največkrat moški srednjih let, žrtve pa njihove partnerice ali otroci. Umori med ostalimi krvnimi sorodniki so manj pogosti. Dejanje je po navadi storjeno v afektu in ni v naprej načrtovano. Storilec velikokrat po izvršenem dejanju stori samomor ali njegov poskus. Način izvršitve in uporabljeno morilsko orodje ali orožje se od primera do primera razlikuje, večinoma pa se umori v družini zgodijo doma ali na dobro poznanem kraju. Umori v družini ostajajo veliko neraziskano polje. Področje tovrstnih umorov preiskovalnim organom predstavlja določeno problematiko, ključnega pomena za preprečevanje le-teh pa je odkrivanje nasilja v družini in odpravljanje njegovih vzrokov, saj je v večini primerov dejanje posledica trajnega nasilja v družini, ki ga je težko odkriti in preprečiti.Family is a community where unconditional love, trust, mutual understanding and support should be prevalent. Emotions of family members are inevitably intertwined and this affects all aspects of family relations and interactions. Because of the complexity of family life various kinds of conflicts in the community and in some cases even domestic violence often occur. These factors are frequently the cause of familicide. The criminal act can be prompted by a certain motive which is often connected to vengeance, jealousy, economic gains or as an answer to dissatisfaction with family circumstances. The offenders of familicides are in most cases middle-aged men and the victims are their partners or their kids. The homicides between other blood relatives are less frequent. Familicides are usually committed in an outburst and are not premeditated. The offenders after the crime often commit suicide or at least they attempt it. The manner of the crime and the murder tool or weapon are different for each case, the crimes mostly happen at home or in a place well-known to the offender and the victim. Familicides remain a field which is largely unexplored. This area presents a problem to the investigating authority. The important key for prevention of these kinds of crimes is uncovering domestic violence and eliminating its causes because in most cases familicides are a consequence of long term domestic violence which is difficult to uncover and prevent
