Abstract: Bénézech organised sexual homicide into two distinct categories — psychopathic and psychotic — but warned that this taxonomy has only an indicative value, since certain sexual homicides fall in-between these categories. Therefore forensic experts must determine which of the two components (psychopathic or psychotic) dominate as the risk of recidivism as well as the measures that should be taken are determined by the subjective structure of the perpetrator. Given this need, criminal analysis could benefit greatly from a thorough clinical analysis. The author presents a mixed case of sexual psychotic homicide with criminal nocturnal arson. The difficulties in diagnosing of such a case are discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
