Hadn’t heard the term prior to seeing this thread, but I understood it immediately upon seeing it.

This is because I’d read of a [recent case in Salt Lake City](https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01/07/utah-father-accused-child-torture/) that’s still fresh in mind, though that one was (alleged attempted) filicide and not uxoricide.

Hadn’t realized it was common enough to acquire a specific name, but sadly it’s not terribly surprising now that I know.
