Abstract

Review. The article is devoted to crimes that in fact have not been considered as an object of independent study in domestic science. These are necrophilous murders and necrophilous murderers. These murders are committed by those who love death, see it as a continuation of their existence, and are eager to find out what it is; the death appeals to them. That is why they kill easily and without remorse. The other part is hidden in someone else's death. There are no statistics on such people or committed crimes, they have never been emphasized as a scientific problem. Therefore, the article presents various cases of murders which the author considers as necrophilous murders. These crimes are committed at different times by different people and in different places, but they all share a craving for death, which is unconscious in the sense that the perpetrators do not understand why they did it and what forced them to do it. Some people call some external forces that allegedly forced them to commit murders. The analyzed charges of socially dangerous acts, the stories of those who committed them, the author's comments and evaluation leave no doubt that such necrophilous actions are in fact exist. All of this require not only defining a particular criminological category in science but also establishing particularly severe penalties. The relevant proposals are contained in the article. Their implementation may be of particular relevance in practice. Each time a task may occur whether the murder is of necrophilous character, especially if it is intertwined with other motives. A list of necrophilous features of murderers is given at the end of the article.
