Investigative Considerations
In addition to
the considerations listed for spontaneous domestic homicide, the offender will
demonstrate a change in pre offense behavior toward the victim. Frequently an
improvement in the relationship is seen, and this ap- parent change in heart
will be demonstrated in a highly visible manner to others. Post offense
interviews of close friends or family members often reveal that the victim had
expressed concerns or fears regarding the victim’s safety or even a sense of
foreboding. The medical and psychiatric history of the victim becomes important
if the investigator suspects the crime has been staged to appear to be a
suicide or death by natural causes.
