      abstract     = {Murder-suicides are defined as the murder of at least one
                      person and the suicide of the offender following the murder.
                      The intention to commit suicide must be primary. In most
                      cases, a male offender kills a female victim after a
                      separation. The current analysis was the first analysis of
                      the typology of murder-suicides in Berlin. We analyzed the
                      autopsy files of the Institute for Forensic Medicine of the
                      Charité University Medicine Berlin and of the City
                      Institute for Forensic Medicine Berlin. We performed
                      descriptive and statistical analyses of cases between 2005
                      and 2013. We identified 17 murder-suicides. All 17 offenders
                      were male, and 20 of the victims $(90\%)$ were female. The
                      offenders used firearms in the majority of the cases. In
                      seven cases, the victims and offenders were at least
                      80 years old. The average age of the offenders was
                      63 years. Disease was the motive in 6 cases involving older
                      offenders. Our study might support the development of
                      prevention strategies. In this regard, it is important to
                      build a database for murder-suicides in Germany and other
                      countries, to formulate a uniform definition of
                      murder-suicide, to carry out nationwide interdisciplinary
                      studies on this topic and to improve the existing health
                      care structures, especially for older adults and people with
                      depression.},
