ramirezdahmerbundy: Types of homicide-suicide ‘Standard cases’ involve individuals who are well known to each other. Often, one spouse (most often male) may kill the other then kill him/herself. Sometimes, a parent may kill one or more children and/or spouse before committing suicide. Determining the underlying reasons that lead to dyadic death is understandably not easy, but deterioration in relationships between spouses appears to be a crucial factor. A significant proportion of cases involve mother who kill their children and then themselves - many of the perpetrators suffer from depression and choose relatively non-violent methods of death. This had led to the proposal that dyadic death in these instances reflect an extension of the act of suicide. Homicide followed by delayed suicide perhaps stretched the accepted definition of dyadic death, especially when the time interval between the two events is quite long. This is particularly true when suicide follows arrest of the perpetrator and then the act of suicide did not appear to be part of the original plan. Random strikes against strangers  may be carried out by individuals who carry a weapon and target people who are not known to them, with the apparent aim of killing as many people as possible. Often these attacks are carried out by perpetrators who have a military interest. Religious and/or politically motivated attacks are primarily intended to kill as many people of a different faith/background as possible. Usually, the suicide of the perpetrator is an integral part of the attack.
