Abstract
Examples of homicide folowed by attempted suicide [4] were presented based on the psychiatric examinations prepared for the use of the courts. Cases [3] were suffering from endogenous depression and the 4th person showed a serious chronic neurotic depression following an acute grief reaction before and during homicide. The relationship between depression and homicide was discussed from the standpoint of clinical psychopathology. Criminal responsibility of these cases was discussed.Keywords
