Notes:	"11 October 2005" This Crime Facts Sheet summarises the major cause of death for homicides in Australia 2003-04. Homicide includes murder, manslaughter and infanticide but excludes driving-related fatalities unless they took place in the course of a criminal event. There were 288 incidents and 305 victims of homicide. It shows that most homicide victims died from stab wounds, followed by being beaten to death with a blunt instrument or assault (hands and/or feet). Females were most likely to be victims of strangulation/suffocation or beating (26% each), whereas males were most likely to be victims of stabbings (38%). Less than one in five victims (17%) died as a result of shooting.
