TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Corpse dismemberment and a necrofetishist JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Pettigrew, Mark SP - 934 EP - 937 VL - 64 IS - 3 N2 - A case of postmortem dismemberment and evisceration is presented. Over a 5-year period, a serial killer murdered twelve men, with a necrophilic intent, so he could mimic relationship behaviors with the corpses of those he killed. Analysis of the methods he chose to dispose of his victims reveals a stark contrast to the motive for perpetrating the homicides, methods which are suggestive of anger toward the victim when they could no longer fulfill their role in the necrophile's fantasy.
