Abstract

Pattern of Homicidal Deaths in children differs from that in adults in many ways like method of homicide, motive and victim-offender relationship. The present study is a retrospective analysis of 7 years data from January 2003 to December 2009, regarding homicidal deaths in children below 12 years. This study analyses the pattern, circumstances, autopsy findings in these cases and probable reasons for these crimes. An attempt is also made here to study the pedicide - suicide cases.
