Murder-suicide




A murder-suicide is an act in which an individual kills one or more other persons immediately before, or while killing themself.

Most School Massacres , (such as the Columbine High School Massacre ) result in murder suicide.

The combination of Murder and suicide can take various forms, including:

  • Domestic abuse, as the ultimate act of domination by the abuser who then commits suicide out of grief or to evade legal consequences.

  • Suicide to facilitate murder, as in Suicide Bombing

  • Suicide after murder to escape punishment, e.g. Dunblane Massacre

  • Having a combined objective of suicide and murder (For example, when someone's angry at the world. One of their actions could include driving a semi truck, or even a fuel tanker, onto the opposite side of the highway to cause utter pandemonium and guaranteed national headlines.)

  • Suicide after murder as a form of self-punishment due to guilt

  • Considering one's suicide as the main act, but murdering e.g. one's children first, to avoid their becoming Orphan s, and/or to be together in an expected Afterlife

  • Joint Suicide in the form of killing the other with consent, and then killing oneself.
