Lapot is the legendary Serbian practice of senicide: killing one’s parents, or other elderly family members, once they become a financial burden on the family. According to T. R. Georgevitch, writing in 1918 about the eastern highlands of Serbia, in the region of Zaječar, the killing was carried out with an axe or stick, and the entire village was invited to attend. In some places corn mush was put on the head of the victim to make it seem as if the corn, not the family, was the killer. (wikipedia)
