The purpose of the work is to actualize the importance of forensic diagnostics of bodily injuries caused to victims of serial murders with signs of sexual motivation as a special category of crimes causing public resonance and negative statistical indicators of investigation efficiency. Based on the results of forensics in serial homicide investigations, common signs of injuries for most victims, methods of their generalization and solving situational problems are presented. The totality of the data obtained made it possible to identify the most stable diagnostic criteria that determine the specifics of serial murders in the forensic aspect. The application of such criteria in practice ensures that objective data necessary to prove both serial murders and signs of sexual aggression are obtained at the preliminary investigation and the stage of legal proceedings.

This article revisits an ongoing dialogue between the co-authors, examining their divergent perspectives on whether the art of serial killers was used to perpetuate their psychopathic cycles after their murderous sprees were interrupted, or whether the art-particularly a piece done by one serial killer, Glen Rogers-reflects remorse and redemption. The two art therapists draw from their own clinical and professional experiences to argue their respective outlooks. After explaining what art therapy is, re-examining the concept of murderabilia, and underscoring psychopathy, this article provides an in-depth evaluation of two art pieces done by the serial killer through of their viewpoints.

The work of the serial killers William Burke and William Hare, immigrant Ulstermen who came to Scotland in 1818, is well known. When they were finally caught, having murdered 16 people and sold their bodies for dissection, Hare turned King's evidence and after a dramatic trial Burke was hanged in January 1829. The notoriety of the case resulted in a crowd for Burke's public execution that is generally regarded as the largest that ever assembled in Edinburgh for a hanging, being estimated at between 25,000 and 35,000 people.
