A protracted murder-suicide

Journal/Book: J Forensic Psychiatry. 1996; 7: 11 New Fetter Lane, London, England EC4P 4EE. Routledge. 383-386.

Abstract: In a previous paper, the author related the tragic story of a triple family murderer suffering from depression. Exactly 8 years after that drama, the man escaped from prison in order to commit suicide on the tomb of his three victims. This report documents this affair, exceptional for its rarity and the nature of the suicidal act.
