title: Murder for Life Insurance Money: Protecting the Children
abstract: Children are being murdered for life insurance proceeds. Of course, if a beneficiary murders a child for the recovery of life insurance money and if he is apprehended, he will surely face numerous legal consequences. He will not recover the insurance money, he will be prosecuted and likely sentenced to lfe imprisonment or execution, he may be sued for the wrongful death of the child and he may be prosecuted for insurance fraud. However, all of these legal responses are triggered by the death of the child and, therefore, do not serve to protect the child from being murdered in the first instance. On the other hand, there are legal doctrines in place that would appear to be directed toward protecting a child from being the target of a murderous beneficiary, most notably the insurable interest doctrine. t Associate Professor, Campbell University School of Law.
