Not really. In many cases, siblings are quite the opposite of each other.

If it did than I'd be serving a life sentence for murder along with my crazy brother.
Genetically this kind of behavior doesn't run in families. However, growing up in a family which encourages criminal behavior would tend to mean that the kids would turn out to be criminals. Not always though. Some kids manage to escape such influences, no matter how bad they are, and become normal people or even exceptional people.

I guess it depends on the circumstances of the murder. Was it off the handle kind where the murderer just snapped for no reason? Or did the murderer feel threatened, and did it in an act of self-defense against, say, a burglar?
If the murderer snapped and just went crazy, I'd worry.
Hope this helps with the heebie-jeebies.

You get bad seeds. The rest of the family could be quite normal. There are schools of thought...genetic or enviromental, a little of both. Sometimes people are just crazy. My family had four kids and one is a total violent tosser bordering on physcotic. Same parents, same enviroment, but completely different human (if you could call her that). The brother of the murderer should not have to live in the shadow of his brothers crimes.

They say the siblings of a murderer are about ninety times more likely to commit murder themselves than a regular person. Especially in a high stress work environment. I don't think you should have to worry though... Unless you see them acting weird or something.

No not usually. I had a friend whose brother did the same thing. I worried for a long time about my friend and I discovered that both him and his other brothers learned a valuable lesson from the bad brother and if anything they were more honest and better people than most.
Who really knows though!?

I hope not. My neighbor killed his wife because she had another man.(He is in jail now.) But his siblings seem okay in our neighborhood, anyway. So I don't think it has any link at all. i guess, it depends upon the reason why they became murderers in the first place.

no, but it can also be, if his environment sorrounding him is different, i mean different from other people as if he/she has his/her own world.. not noticing other people.. it can also be biological or psychological which i think starts from his surroundings.. these people are usually ffriendly from the outside becuase they don't want to be hated by the society and are more hideous...but not all people are alike even if they are blood related..

Yes, some studies have shown that homicidal tendencies are hereditary. It can skip generations, but you never know.

If it does, murder cases would be a norm.
