www.fcadv.org JUNE 2017 / FACES OF FATALITY 23 (27%) of decedents or their family members were in contact with DCF prior to the homicide. Of the homicides reviewed, 59% occurred in a residence shared by the perpetrator and decedent. Family members reported knowing about prior incidences or threats of domestic violence by the perpetrator in 48% of the deaths. In 25% of the cases there were known allegations of death threats made by the perpetrator toward the decedent prior to the homicide. The five-year analysis indicated 42% of perpetrators completed suicide and an additional 6% attempted but did not complete suicide. When possible, the data points are based on information collected from all 207 reviews submitted by local teams. In some instances, however, statistics are based on different totals, either due to non-applicability or missing information for any given review/case. The total number of cases used to calculate each indicator are reflected in parentheses. The five-year summary included five of the 207 total reviews for which reviewers identified the perpetrator of the homicide as acting in self-defense to domestic violence. These reviews were excluded in the descriptive statistics that inquire about specific details of perpetrators or decedents because of the unique circumstances surrounding those deaths. The evidence-based research on known risk factors is based on cases of femicide, which are male perpetrated homicides on their female partners. Therefore, information on the breakdown of known risk factors contains data on the 172 deaths that were a direct result of femicide.
