N2  - Although there is growing literature on lethal violence in developing nations, homicide–suicides have rarely been studied. Addressing this issue, this paper analyzes all homicide–suicides that occurred in Fiji between 1982 and 1992. The study's results are consistent with prior research in Western developed nations, demonstrating that homicide–suicides constitute a minuscule proportion of all homicides, occur primarily between intimate relations, are precipitated by intrafamilial discord, and occur in the domestic setting. Contrary to prior research, however, perpetrators of homicide–suicide were equally divided between men and women and no firearms were utilized.<p />
