Many crimes murders (§ 140 Tr.z.) has a sexual motive in the broadest sense of the word. They are common murders out of jealousy, in marital and partner conflicts. Date ssexual murder however, it is reserved for those cases where the offender kills the victim in connection with his sexual excitement and satisfaction.

 * In the second, the victim is attacked, intimidated, tortured, sexually exploited and then killed.

In connection with the erotic motif, it is mainly about children's objects or adolescent boys. Also, a heterosexual offender can understandably attack a girl in childhood or a teenage girl.

Murders are directly related to sexual motivation, followers removing the object as an inconvenient witness to the crime (killing raped a woman who threatens to disclose the crime, killing the object sexual abuse from the same motive, etc.).
