The peculiarities of electronic traces in the investigation of intentional murders The significance of using specialized knowledge in criminal proceedings is examined, particularly through the appointment of forensic examinations. Special attention is given to information and computer forensics (ICF) in cases of intentional homicides committed with motives of intolerance. The role of ICF in identifying digital traces that indicate the motive, preparation, and organization of the crime is outlined. The potential of ICF in uncovering organized groups and establishing the ideological background of the offense is highlighted.
