I always wondered who is responsible for cleaning up the mess in these situations. Do the police send in a clean up crew, does the perp (if he survives) or the perp’s family / estate have to pay for it?

I believe there are specialized crime scene cleaning services for this job. The homeowner's insurance would cover the cost, I imagine. Who knows what sort of pathogens are in the blood, etc. so you would want a cleaning crew that knows how to deal with bio-hazard material.

You leave the blood stained mess, put a sign on it with an arrow, showing the next burglar what happen to the last one.

I think the homeowner is the one who must clean up.

In most states the state's victim's compensation fund will pay for clean up.
