On the basis of various literature and experience
of two decades, I endorse/feel that dead bodies do tell tales as to ‘how he/she
has been killed/died"; what is required is a meticulous autopsy surgeon to
hear/understand its language.
Lust murder may be
organized or disorganized depending on the psychopathology of the offender and
the same is manifested in the crime scene of the killings.
It is determined by very
close observation/examination of the scene and corpse. In the case of a
disorganized offender, the victim will be immediately rendered unconscious or
dead by a "blitz–style" of attack and there will be evidence of
symbolic and postmortem sexual activities.
In both instances,
however, the cutting, mutilation and overkill type wound structures will be
directed towards those parts of the body that the offender finds significant to
him as per his fantasy and serve as a sexual stimulus.
The disorganized offender
usually depersonalizes his victim by facial destruction or overkill type of
wounds and it became a signature forensic component for crime detection.
Any sexually sadistic acts
are performed postmortem. Mutilation to the genitalia in females, neck, throat
and buttocks are performed because these parts of the body contain a strong
sexual significance to him. Most cases of lust murder usually involve male
perpetrators. However, accounts of female lust murderers do exist also.
