Serial killing and homosexual necrophilia,an exploration

The vast majority of literature regarding sexual homicide is premised on a male perpetrator and female victim, as is the sparse literature regarding acts of necrophilia. Little, therefore, is known of homicide committed by a homosexual male to facilitate necrophilic acts. A case is presented here of such an instance, an instance that escalated into serial homicide and, at least, a dozen victims. The prefacing role of sexual fantasy is explored, as well as the significance of the manner of death when necrophilic intent is the rationale for homicide. Potential indicators of necrophilic interests leading to sexual homicide are noted, and the literature regarding such interests is expanded.
