A murder–suicide is an act in which an individual kills one or more other persons before, or at the same time as, killing him- or herself. The combination of murder and suicide can take various forms, including:
⁕Suicide to facilitate murder, as in suicide bombing
⁕Murder which entails suicide, such as driving a car with one or more passenger off a bridge
⁕Suicide after murder to escape punishment
⁕Suicide after murder as a form of self-punishment due to guilt
⁕Joint suicide in the form of killing the other with consent, and then killing oneself
⁕Murder before suicide with the intent of preventing future pain and suffering of family members, such as a father killing his children before ending his own life.
⁕Murder to prevent an individual from causing harm to others, leading to suicide.
Many spree killings have ended in suicide, such as in many school shootings. Some cases of cult suicide may also involve murder.
