Abstract

Homicide – suicide cases are uncommon methods of death. However, with the advent of internet and technology there appears to be a rise in the number of these cases. These cases are different as they are easily solved. They are also easily prevented if timely counselling and peer guidance is obtained. Recording statistics of these crimes can help in better understanding of the crime. Here we present an interesting case of a dejected lover who has committed the crime of passion in as cruel manner as possible, while celebrating the last date with his partner.
