Murder by Suicide |

comment |
Murder by Suicide: Major Amrik Singh is encouraged to 'escape' to the US so the Army does not have to investigate him and reveal his crimes. However, the relatives of the people he killed follow him and keep running across him as if by accident. He ends up shooting his family and then himself. |
