A husband was said to have killed his wife and two children to re-marry another female met through social media: a glimpse in to criminal psychology

Abstract

Killing of the wife and the two children in order to acquire a “better married life” with another female is not justifiable at any cost by a sensible person as there are many other non-criminal alternatives to achieve the said desired relationship. One would think that it is all right to kill anybody to achieve an easy and permanent way out of the existing family as he is not satisfied with the existing circumstances. Another person with the same circumstances would follow noncriminal path to make his life comfortable.1, 2 This different thinking pattern should be investigated into. The tendency in committing criminal events is an existing phenomenon ever since the human civilization. Understanding the underlying causes for criminal minds is not behind any of the first class inventions of the present world. The already formulated theories along with the new perspectives, the criminal minds should be investigated into, more extensively than ever before in order to achieve a future generation with healthier minds. In addition to addressing the mindset of the younger generation, authors opine that it is essential to re-mold the mind setup of those who had been labelled as criminals already.3
