Criminological and penal points of view of family murders

Družinski umori so kljub svoji šokantnosti dokaj pogosto kaznivo dejanje, ki prizadane tako družino žrtve kot družino storilca ter njuno okolico. So posledica nasilja v družini, med katerega uvrščamo intimnopartnersko nasilje, nasilje med starši in otroci ter nasilje med drugimi sorodniki, najpogosteje med sorojenci. Tako torej med družinske umore uvrščamo intimnopartnerske umore, umore staršev s strani otrok in umore otrok s strani staršev ter umore drugih sorodnikov, med katerimi prevladujejo umori sorojencev ali drugih bližnjih sorodnikov. Intimnopartnerski umori so najpogostejši in so pogosto posledica intimnopartnerskega nasilja, vendar pa ne govorimo le o umorih žrtev s strani nasilnih partnerjev, obstajajo tudi primeri, ko žrtev nasilja s potekom časa na koncu postane storilec / storilka kaznivega dejanja. Druga skupina so umori staršev s strani otrok, ki lahko izvirajo iz nasilja staršev nad otroci ali pa so posledica različnih psihofizičnih težav otrok. Nato sledijo umori otrok, ki so lahko posledica duševne stiske starša ali pa hipne narave, ko nasilje, ki ga otrok izvaja nad starši, v nekem trenutku postane preveliko. Zadnja skupina so umori drugih sorodnikov, večinoma umori sorojencev, ki so lahko posledica nasilja v družini ali pa pretirane tekmovalnosti ter ljubosumja. Drugi družinski umori so redkejši, vendar zato nič manj pretresljivi.Domestic murders are despite being shocking often criminal acts that affect family of victim and offender as well as their environment. They are consequence of domestic violence, which includes intimate violence, violence of children, violence of parents and violence between other members of family, especially siblings. Therefore we know intimate murders, paricide, filicide and familicide, including murders of siblings. Intimate murders are most frequent, but not only as offender killing its victim after long period of violence, but also because some offenders were actually victims for a very long period and at the end become murders of their own bully. Paricide is second group of family murders that origin from violence of parents against children or are consequence of mental issues of a child. Another group are filicides that can be consequence of mental problems or happen in the moment, as if children’s terror is just too much for parents to handle. Last group are familicides, especially murders between siblings, that can happen because of domestic violence, competition or jealousy. Other family murders are rare, but still not less shocking that all the rest
