The majority of literature on homicide-suicide addresses the fact that victims are predominantly female, and offenders are typically adult males (older than the victims) who share a familial, marital, or consortial relationship with them. The probability of fatalities involving murder-suicides in the bedrooms of middle-class households is higher. We present a case where an adolescent domestic helper strangled his landlady, twice his age, only to commit suicide by hanging thereafter. We go on to discuss homicide-suicide by servants outside the consortial relationship and the possible reasons for it in the Nepalese context.
大多数关于杀人自杀的文献都提到,受害者主要是女性,犯罪者通常是成年男性(年龄比受害者大),且与受害者有家庭、婚姻或配偶关系。在中产阶级家庭卧室发生谋杀自杀事件导致死亡的可能性更高。我们呈现一个案例,一名青少年家庭佣工勒死了年龄比他大一倍的女房东,随后上吊自杀。我们接着讨论配偶关系之外仆人实施的杀人自杀行为以及在尼泊尔背景下出现这种情况的可能原因。
