“…A similar study performed in Ankara (Ozkok, Otker, & Katkici, 1995) indicated that femicides constituted 23.1% of all cases of murder in compliance with the incidence (22.4%) found in our study. The corresponding incidences were detected to be 29% to 42% in Poland (Rygol, Chowaniec, Kobek, & Chowaniec, 2005), 34% in Sweden (Allgulander & Nilsson, 2000), and 21% and 24% in two studies conducted in India (Mohanty, Panigrahi, Mohanty, & Das, 2004; Yusuf, Akhter, Rahman, Chowdhury, & Rochat, 2000).…”

“…In addition, magnicide is the killing of a high-ranking government official, and regicide is the murder of a king. Democide means direct or indirect murder of people of other or its own country by a government because of their indelible group membership (race, ethnicity, religion, language), and genocide is defined as mass killing of a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group in whole or in part (Mohanty, 2004).…”

Criminal death incidence of women varies between developed and developing countries, and it has become a common public problem in almost every country. We do not have any data about femicide cases published in Turkey until today. In our study, we tried to call attention to femicide cases. In our study, we evaluated 141 cases of female homicides with an interval of 10 years between January 1996 and May 2005, retrospectively. Data retrieved were statistically evaluated using chi-square test. Most of the cases were between 21 and 35 years of age. Spouse murders are usually witnessed during the process of divorce. Establishment of institutions which will ensure the security of women during this period is of paramount importance. If we protect women during divorce and separation proceedings, we can prevent femicide cases. We also think that laws may be strengthened for protecting women who are vulnerable at such times.

“…In terms of the criminal law, construction of participation, the supplier of Muti (the traditional healer), the initiator (the client) and any other person (sharing the loot) for whatever motive, should all be treated as accessories after the fact to murder and should be punished accordingly. In essence, Muti murder is a variant of homicide (Mohanty, 2004) CONCLUSION The above case description shows the features typical of Muti killings which are still a reality in the current South African context.…”

Muti killings are a form of murder committed by certain African tribes in South Africa and other African countries. Body parts for medicinal and ritualistic purposes are removed whilst the victims, mostly women and children, are still alive. The authors report the case of a 10-year-old boy who was found in an unconscious state in the undergrowth near a rural village in Limpopo, South Africa. He had several injuries which included the removal of his private parts and severe head injuries. The incidence, etiological and cultural factors, predisposing conditions and legal questions arising from such deaths are discussed.

“…Knoll (2006) elaborates by noting that the study of serial murder has been hampered by the lack of a unified definition, before providing the view that most experts agree "the offender must have killed at least two victims in temporally unrelated incidents" (p. 64). Basic definitions range from one or two characteristics whereby (1) multiple victims are killed (2) over time (see Hickey, 2013;Jenkins, 1994;Mohanty, 2004), through to a more complex array of characteristics (see Adjorlolo & Chan, 2014;Egger, 1998).…”

“…This is an important component, however, and will be included in the proposed definition. Mohanty (2004) provides a rather confusing definition of serial murder, where "killing occurs over a period of time and sometimes for years. Killing tends to be one by one and there may be a pattern or victim trait" (p. 216).…”

The prevalence of serial murder is low; however, it has been the focus of much academic and popular attention. Despite a considerable research base on serial murder, there is still debate as to how it should be defined. This article examines often used definitions of serial murder, followed by a critique of some of the main components of these definitions. From this, a definition is advanced with rationales for the inclusion of the characteristics in the proposed definition. This analysis provides for some clarity in the identification of serial murder and those aspects of the crime used to define it.
