Abstract:
This case report stresses the role of depression in the manifestation of a homicideattempted
suicide. We report the case of a man who allegedly murdered his partner
and then attempted suicide. Previously, he had several failures and rejections in
relationships in addition to work-related stress. He was diagnosed with major
depressive disorder and treated with antidepressant. The scarcity of homicideattempted
suicide as exemplified in this case could give an insight to the Psychiatrist
for better understading and possible prevention.
