This is a list of mass or spree killers in Europe who committed familicide. A mass murderer is typically defined as someone who kills three or more people in one incident, not including themselves, with no "cooling off" period.[1][2] A mass murder typically occurs in a single location where one or more persons kill several others.[3][4][5]
The victims must have been largely the relatives of the perpetrator to be considered a familicide.
This list does not include serial killers, members of democidal governments, or major political figures who orchestrated such actions.
