N2  - Reports on 500 cases of murder were extracted from the case records of the Federal Supreme Court of Nigeria. Offenders were nearly always men and the victims were males in 64% of cases. The weapons were most often machetes or cutlasses. The killer and the victim were often related or were friends; only 8% were strangers. In 42% of cases, financial motives were involved.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
