Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While overkill is a pattern sometimes observed in male homosexual homicides involving interpersonal violence, it is not accurate to say that these injuries are always directed at the throat of the victim. Overkill refers to excessive violence beyond what is necessary to kill, and it can target various parts of the body, not exclusively the throat.
