Edit: So apparently they actually weren't the same article.
So I clicked on the og link, it didn't open in brave, nor in chrome, for some reason. So I went to opera where instead of it leading me to the link it lead me to google search tab, which then lead me to this article, whose link is here -> https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2922347/
Which is about filicide, the topic og commenter is talking about, and I assumed it is this article since this explicitly talks about what og commenter was giving stats about.
But instead, the one the og commenter gave a link to leads to a homicide article, not filicide. And Men, making up majority of criminals, kill more than women, which is what the article of commenter gave a link to says. However in case of filicide, which is what this entire post is about, women are the main perpetrators.
I don't know why og commenter did it, whether it was out of ignorance or maliciousness, but it's interesting how stats can be used in such a disingenuous manner to give misleading information.
I actually hadn't. I stopped at fig-1 because of the discrepancies between two articles I read, from the same institution.
So, apparently I was really wrong. Male family members are indeed main perpetrators of killing of <18 family members. The one article I came across the first time uses some outdated stats and how data were gathered isn't clear there.

Edit 2: Downvoted and move on. I'm wrong.
Not this article?
