Will The Psychopaths Who Commit Murders Start With Animals Before They Move On To Humans?

Hello my name is Marina and i am doing an assignment for college about a short story called Trifles. Its about a woman who is held responsible for her husbands murder. Other characters show that she isolates herself from everyone and everything, she doesn't have any moral responsibility and she doesn't seem to have any social conscience. Another character also discovers the womans dead bird hidden in box and the bird was killed the same way her husband was killed. I just wanted to ask if a person like this would be known to be a sociopath and is it true that extreme sociopaths that commit murders tend to start with animals before they move onto humans?
