Emedinews:Makesure:What is lust murder



In America the term ‘lust murder’ is also used in a related but slightly different forensic sense, to refer to an individual who gains sexual arousal from the act of committing murder, or has persistent sexual fantasies of committing murder, even if the murder itself does not involve the genital mutilation or other typical/signature characteristics. Based on my experience as autopsy surgeon, lust murder is a type of paraphilia. The dynamics of violent fantasy in lust murders is understood. However, an individual’s violence fantasy alone is not enough to determine if an individual has or has not engaged in lust murder. Moreover, to conclude that an individual is the murderer because he has drawn multitudes of violent images – some of which involve women is over reaching. The scene of crime is fabricated in many cases by the offender. The body is often removed from the crime scene. He may do this to "taunt" the police or to prevent its discovery by transporting it to a location where it would be well hidden.
