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.
