"the fratricide would often come back to haunt Caracalla. There are many recorded fratricides in Persia. The most famous story is about Cyrus the Great's sons where Cambyses II killed his brother Bardiya. Also there are stories about the sons of Artaxerxes I, Xerxes II, Sogdianus and Darius II where they fought for the throne. Also there were many fratricides in the Parthian Empire and the Sassanid Empire. In the Ottoman Empire a policy of judicial royal fratricide was introduced by Sultan Mehmet II whose grandfather Mehmet I had to fight a long and bloody civil war against his brothers"
"Familicide A familicide is a type of murder or murder-suicide in which a perpetrator kills multiple close family members in quick succession, most often children, spouse, siblings, or parents. In half the cases, the killer then kills themselves in a murder-suicide. If only the parents are killed, the case may also be referred to as a parricide. Where all members of a family are killed, the crime may be referred to as family annihilation. Familicides were used as an enhanced punishment in antiquity. In ancient China, the ""nine familial exterminations"" was the killing of an entire extended family or clan,"
"Siblicide Siblicide (attributed by behavioural ecologist Doug Mock to Barbara M. Braun) is the killing of an infant individual by its close relatives (full or half siblings). It may occur directly between siblings or be mediated by the parents. The evolutionary drivers may be either indirect benefits for the genetic viability of a population or direct benefits for the perpetrators. Siblicide has mainly, but not only, been observed in birds. The word is also used as a unifying term for fratricide and sororicide in the human species; unlike these more specific terms, it leaves the sex of the victim unspecified."

"Filicide Filicide is the deliberate act of a parent killing their own child. The word ""filicide"" derives from the Latin words ""filius"" meaning ""son"" or ""filia"" meaning daughter, and the suffix ""-cide"" meaning to kill, murder, or cause death. ""Filicide"" may refer both to the parent who killed his or her child, as well as to the criminal act that the parent committed. A 1999 United States Department of Justice study concluded that between 1976 and 1997 in the United States, mothers were responsible for a higher share of children killed during infancy, while fathers were more likely to have"
"Homicide Homicide is the act of one human killing another. A homicide requires only a volitional act by another person that results in death, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm. Homicides can be divided into many overlapping legal categories, including murder, manslaughter, justifiable homicide, killing in war (either following the laws of war or as a war crime), euthanasia, and capital punishment, depending on the circumstances of the death. These different types of homicides are often treated very differently in human societies; some are considered"

Freud's theory of fratricide is explained by the Oedipus or Electra complex through Carl Jung's supplementation. There were other, minor traditions concerning Cain and Abel, of both older and newer date. The apocryphal ""Life of Adam and Eve"" tells of Eve having a dream in which Cain drank his brother's blood. In an attempt to prevent the prophecy from happening the two young men are separated"
"Femicide Femicide or feminicide is a sex-based hate crime term, broadly defined as ""the intentional killing of females (women or girls) because they are females"", though definitions vary depending on the cultural context. Feminist author Diana E. H. Russell was the first person to define and disseminate this term in 1976. She defines the word as ""the killing of females by males because they are female."" Other feminists place emphasis on the intention or purpose of the act being directed at females specifically because they are female; others include the killing of females by females.

It can refer to the act itself or the person who carries it out. Though overall rates of spousal violence and homicide in the US have declined since the 1970s, rates of uxoricide are much higher than rates of mariticide (the murder of a husband).

"Infanticide (zoology) In animals, infanticide involves the killing of young offspring by a mature animal of the same species, and is studied in zoology, specifically in the field of ethology. Ovicide is the analogous destruction of eggs. The practice has been observed in many species throughout the animal kingdom, especially primates (primate infanticide). These include microscopic rotifers, insects, fish, amphibians, birds and mammals. Infanticide can be practiced by both males and females. Infanticide caused by sexual conflict has the general theme of the killer (often male) becoming the new sexual partner of the victim's parent, which would otherwise be unavailable."

He and other historians also note that weapons such as guns, artillery, and aircraft dramatically increased friendly-fire casualties. By the 20th and 21st centuries, friendly-fire casualties have likely become a significant percentage of combat injuries and fatalities.

The brothers quarrel while building the city walls, and Romulus kills Remus, an act that is sometimes seen as sacrificial. Fratricide thus became an integral part of Rome's founding myth. Romulus was credited with several religious institutions. He founded the Consualia festival, inviting the neighbouring Sabines to participate; the ensuing rape of the Sabine women by Romulus's men further embedded both violence and cultural assimilation in Rome's myth of origins. As a successful general, Romulus is also supposed to"

These include former or current boyfriends, husbands and common-law husbands. This form of femicide accounts for 40–50% of all deaths of American women killed, and each day in the United States results in the deaths of four women. Spain, on the other hand, reports an intimate"

"But ""gendercide"" is a sex-neutral term, in that the victims may be either male or female. There is a need for such a sex-neutral term, since sexually discriminatory killing is just as wrong when the victims happen to be male. The term also calls attention to the fact that gender roles have often had lethal consequences, and that these are in important respects analogous to the lethal consequences of racial, religious, and class prejudice. Femicide is defined as the systematic killing of women for various reasons, usually cultural. The word is attested from the 1820s. According to the United Nations,"
"than in full siblings. This type of killing (siblicide) is rarer than other types of killings. Genetic relatedness may be an important moderator of conflict and homicide among family members, including siblings. Siblings may be less likely to kill a full sibling because that would be a decrease in their own fitness. The cost of killing a sibling is much higher than the fitness costs associated with the death of a sibling-in-law because the killer wouldn't be losing 50% of their genes. Siblicide was found to be more common in early to middle adulthood as opposed to adolescence. Yet, there"

"This represents a gain in fitness by the killer, and a loss in fitness by the parents of the offspring killed. This is a type of evolutionary struggle between the two sexes, in which the victim sex may have counter-adaptations that reduce the success of this practice. It may also occur for other reasons, such as the struggle for food between females. In this case individuals may even kill closely related offspring.

"Dismemberment Dismemberment is the act of cutting, tearing, pulling, wrenching or otherwise removing the limbs of a living thing. It has been practised upon human beings as a form of capital punishment, especially in connection with regicide, but can occur as a result of a traumatic accident, or in connection with murder, suicide, or cannibalism. As opposed to surgical amputation of the limbs, dismemberment is often fatal to all but the simplest of creatures. In criminology, a distinction is made between offensive and defensive dismemberment. Intentional, criminal dismemberment is known as ""mayhem"". Particularly in South-Eastern Asia, execution by trained elephants"

The word was coined by U.S. military personnel during the Vietnam War, when such killings were most often attempted with a fragmentation grenade, sometimes making it appear as though the killing was accidental or during combat with the enemy. The term fragging is now often used to encompass any means used to deliberately and directly cause the death of military colleagues.
