[Homicide and sexual psychopathology]

Using data of forensic-psychiatric archive of the Institute for Neurology, Psychiatry and Mental Health in Novi Sad, 61 homicides were processed; in all cases victims and the murderers were of different sexes and were not blood kinships. By psychopathological analysis of the sample it was not possible to determine a unique profile of "sexual homicide". Considering the personality of the murderer, the degree of victimization and the importance of alcohol as a constelative factor, three categories of homicide connected with sexual life in the broadest sense were established and any degree of generalization in the practice of forensic-psychiatric theory and practice is impossible.
