The thesis aims to present two cruel murders that took place in the Škofja Loka region in the 1930's. In 1932 a mother and daughter from Dražgoše were murdered in their home, and in 1939 a murderer took the lives of a husband and wife from St. Barbara. The thesis focuses on the murders and their investigation – it describes the crime scenes and the evidence gathered by the police forces. Since the murders have stayed unsolved, the description of the investigation is followed by the theories concerning potential murderers. The thesis is based on the qualitative research method, which consists of descriptions, comparisons, and explanations. The emphasis is also on the critical analysis of the sources, because the research paper is based mainly on the newspaper articles, but it is also backed up by official inheritance documents and a police file.
