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.
