TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Familicide-Suicide: A Cluster of 3 Cases in Los Angeles County JO - American journal of forensic medicine and pathology A1 - Scheinin, Lisa A1 - Rogers, Christopher B. A1 - Sathyavagiswaran, Lakshmanan SP - 327 EP - 330 VL - 32 IS - 4 N2 - Familicide and familicide-suicide have not been extensively documented or adequately defined in forensic and psychiatric literature. Such incidents occupy a distinct epidemiological niche and are often precipitated by financial stressors. We present a cluster of 3 such cases, all of which occurred within a 4-month period in Los Angeles County, Calif. The dynamics of these cases are evaluated relative to the literature.
