N2  - The authors present 9 cases of homicide followed by suicide of the perpetrator--so called dyadic death from the practice of the Cracow Forensic Medicine Chair. The circumstances of the event, medico legal and psychiatric problems were discussed in view of the literature. A typical picture of the perpetrator is male of the average age 49, killing his spouse or children. The major reasons of dyadic death are: breakdown in a relationship, mental and somatic diseases, financial stress. Very uncommon in dyadic death are cases of murder of people from outside the closest family.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
