It is proved that there is a need to develop a forensic characteristic of a person who performs actions aimed at inducing suicide or facilitating suicide using information and telecommunications networks is objectively determined. The content of the required and criminally significant information about the criminal is disclosed. It is indicated that criminally significant information about the identity of the accused contributes to solving multi-level problems of theoretical and legal, forensic, organizational and procedural nature. Criminalistically significant information about the accused helps the investigator to prevent the promotion of erroneous versions, to refrain from conducting investigative actions and conducting operational search activities that do not ensure the completion of the proceedings in a reasonable time, etc. The example given in the article contains interesting and criminally significant information about the accused. However, the lack of a broad empirical base does not allow us to say which of the accused's character traits are typical and with what frequency they will be observed in those accused of committing similar crimes. At the same time, they form a primary idea of a possible set of typological features. The study of subsequent examples of judicial activity and the results obtained can be compared with existing ones. With constant analytical work, the task of forming a typical portrait of a person who commits criminal acts aimed at inducing suicide using information and telecommunications networks (including the Internet) will be solved.
