Gender Abuse

The killing of women at the hands of their partners in South Africa has seen a phenomenal increase. The recent killing of Karabo Mokoena, a part-time business student, has highlighted not only the killing of women by those who are supposed to love them, but the brutality of it. According to the Medical Research Council, femicide, the murder of a woman by an intimate partner, is one of the leading causes of the death of women in South Africa. Is there distinct psychological traits in men who murder their partners and children?
