Abstract

In southern India, homicide has grown to be a prevalent habit that reflects wrath. This study's aim was to pinpoint the vulnerable victims and probable risk factors. The data from 46 cases are analysed in this retrospective study. According to our research, the victims were primarily males between the ages of 21 and 30 who were married (52.17%), uneducated (41.30%), from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and residents in rural areas. Both male and female housewives as well as labourers and farmers were largely impacted. More incidences (76.08%) occurred outside. The majority of victims (60.08%) were innocent and had never been convicted of a crime. 45% of victims had blood alcohol levels that were positive. Hemorrhage and shock were the most frequent causes of death, and sharp cutting weapons were frequently utilised. The two main factors that contributed to this horrible crime were prior animosity and family discord. The majority of patients had damage to several body areas. A few potential danger factors are listed at the end, along with associated countermeasures.
