What are the general circumstances surrounding the crime of parricide?

What will be an ideal response?


Parricide usually does not occur as a result of a single episode; rather it is a manifestation of a culmination of unresolved conflicts. In cases where adolescents killed their parents, there was a history of family violence, the adolescent's attempt to get help or escape from the situation failed, the children experienced isolation, and the family situation became increasingly desperate immediately prior to the killings.
