Abstract

Homicide-suicides often attract media attention. Only one other study of homicide-suicide events in France have been conducted. American authors have emphasized the importance of developing a research strategy, based on reports of these events. Our study of the characteristics of all homicide-suicide in Tours between 2000 and 2005, is compared with published data. We have attempted to classify such homicide-suicides in accordance with other published studies.
