title: [Case analysis of double or multiple homicides].
abstract: Thirty-six patients (the youngest was about one and a half years old, and the oldest 76 years old) were the victims of double or multiple homicides. These comprised a total of 16 homicides, exclusively involving one perpetrator. Seven of these could not be categorized in the group of "family tragedies". These crimes are of particular medical-criminalistic interest in view of their constellation. The way in which the murder weapon was used, the situation-dependence as well as the behavior of the perpetrator after committing the crime are discussed in detail.
