PSYCHOLOGY OF CRIME: Why would a mother kill her children?

The murder at Sandanski was probably unplanned and could well be an act of revenge against the father. This is the opinion of psychologists, according to which the 32-year-old woman assaulted her children after an unblocked mental illness.

Social isolation and stress are catalysts for violence among people with a weaker psyche, psychologists say. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are mentally ill.

The mother of the murdered children in Sandanski has confessed

“Impotence generates violence. Our inability to cope with a certain situation causes us to overreact,” says Diana Ginova, psychologist and psychotherapist.

The murder of children is contrary to the biological nature of women, experts recall. And they are looking for what could be behind that decision.

“He heard voices telling him to do it. He could do it as punishment for his father. He could really believe that with this act, with this action, he protects them from something much more terrible,” Ginova added.

Psychologists do not rule out the possibility that children have been victims of aggression by the father. By killing them, the mother protects them from future suffering. However, whatever the real reason, its solution has not been considered for a long time.

“I realized that her husband found her in a stupor … she barely realized what was happening or what she was doing,” says the psychologist.

Parents of two children killed in Sandanski were arrested.

It is possible for a woman to take her own life after realizing the consequences of her actions, experts say.

The murder of the two children is not a precedent in the region. In 2009, in the Gotse Delchev village of Osikovo, a father killed his children and then set fire to the house where his wife was. The two had serious family scandals.

Minchu Panyukov received a life sentence.
