    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Medicine
    • Criminology
    • Sociology

    Context:

    • Analysis of autopsic materials from the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Belgrade.
    • A sixty-year study period from 1920 to 1980.
    • Investigating patterns of filicide in a specific geographic area.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the frequency and characteristics of filicide cases in Belgrade.
    • To identify common motives behind filicide.
    • To compare local filicide perpetrator demographics with existing literature.

    Summary:

    • 26 cases of filicide were identified over a 60-year period, indicating a low incidence.
    • Identified filicide motives include parental conflict, child's illness/anomaly, illegitimacy, socioeconomic issues, and parental mental disorders.
    • Mothers were perpetrators in 15 cases, fathers in 11, with mothers being more frequent offenders in this cohort.

    Impact:

    • Provides regional data on filicide incidence and motives.
    • Highlights a discrepancy with literature suggesting mothers are almost the sole perpetrators.
    • Contributes to understanding the complex factors contributing to filicide.
