Episodes of detective series are rarely happy with just one murder. There has to be two or three, with the second being found just before an ad break. Frequently the second murder only confirms the detectives' suspicions, especially if the original murder was disguised as a suicide or accident. If the prime suspect for the first murder is the next victim, it's Suspect Existence Failure. This is also sometimes necessary to establish a pattern to the murders. If one librarian is killed, it could be a random crime. If two librarians are killed, then someone is targeting librarians. This trope is sometimes used (e.g. by Agatha Christie) to deconstruct the idea that murder of an Asshole Victim is morally justifiable; it turns out that our supposedly upright, reluctant killer finds the second murder now much easier, loses sight of the value of human life, and starts killing innocents to cover their tracks. Subtrope of Crime After Crime. Murder Is the Best Solution can lead to this outcome. Not the First Victim is a variant of this, but that trope refers to a single person committing a series of crimes that not discovered at the beginning. Serial Killings, Specific Target applies if one victim was the real target and others are killed simply to muddy the waters. |

Early on in Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair, one of the guests at the Halloween party is found dead, with their death being either a suicide or a murder. A while later, the prime suspect in the first victim's death is found dead, and unlike the first victim, the second victim is definitely a murder victim. Just before the climax, a third victim is left to burn to death, but can be saved if the player makes the right choices. It ultimately turns out that Momoko, the first victim, pretended to commit suicide when her corpse was supposedly discovered, since it was all part of a "prank" she thought of with Hiro, Kamen and Kotoba. She then murders Hiro and has Kotoba locked in the boiler room and set on fire before hanging herself for real, making it ultimately a suicide and two murders/one murder and one attempted murder. | |

In The ABC Murders, a serial killer hides the murder that would benefit him amongst a series of others, creating an ABC murderer. "When are you least likely to notice a pin?" "When it's in a pincushion!" This is also lampshaded when Poirot and Hastings discuss detective stories, and Hasting says that more than one murder makes them more exciting. | |

In Days of Our Lives, the Salem Stalker killed one woman (who was going to marry the man she loved) and was forced to keep killing people in order to cover up the murders. Naturally, another villain took the opportunity to bump off her husband, figuring she'd frame the serial killer for that attack. The cops weren't fooled. | |

In an episode of The Streets of San Francisco called 'Police Buff' in 1976, a vigilante named Eric Doyle (the late Bill Bixby) poses as a San Francisco police officer and kills a mobster in a parking garage (said mobster had the case against him thrown out of court on a technicality, because a witness wouldn't identify him in court). Later, Doyle murders a rape suspect who had the case against him (the rape suspect) thrown out of court on another technicality (it's later proven that this suspect could not have done it, because he was nowhere near where the rape happened). Finally, Doyle tries to kill Lt. Stone (Karl Malden) by carjacking the car that Stone is in at a stakeout that Stone and partner Steve Keller (Michael Douglas) set up to try to nab Doyle; Doyle is then found out and arrested in a local park after a brief shootout, and in the arrest, Stone removes the badge Doyle was using to pose as a police officer. | |

Crime writer Harriet Vane describes this trope in the Lord Peter Wimsey novel Have His Carcase: The series itself mostly avoids using the trope directly, with the stand-out exception of Unnatural Death, in which the murderer follows up the original crime by bumping off two people who know two much and making attempts on three more. |

It's quickly established that she's at least the killer's second victim, and that he tried to kill a third girl that same night, and he kills two more people over the series - the first to throw suspicion off himself, and the second because she looks exactly like Laura. | |

A pair of Jägers discuss this trope early in Girl Genius. They talk through the possibility of killing the heroine since She Knows Too Much but quickly realises that that would force them to kill the witness to her murder in turn, and that "this is turning into one of those plans.

This one happens a great deal in Monk, but "Mr. Monk and the Actor" gave it an ironic twist. A character asks if the murderer is likely to strike again; he's told that it was a crime of passion, and the man who did it will probably never put another toe out of line. Cut to the murderer breaking into a pawnshop to cover up evidence of the original murder, which leads to his second murder when the pawnshop owner walks in on him. He continues to escalate from there. | |

In Heat during the opening heist, a crew has captured an armored car, has blown the back door, and has lined up the guards outside while they steal the contents. Psycho Party Member Waingro gets upset because one of the guards won't follow his instructions (ignoring one of the other robbers who points out the guards can't hear anything after the explosion damaged their ears) and shoots one of the guards. The other thieves then have to gun down a second guard who goes for a backup gun, and after a brief hesitation, the final guard who still hasn't tried to resist. The detective later investigating the robbery explains what happened. "So he pops one of the guards. This has now gone from an armed robbery to murder. Since they're all now eligible for the death penalty, why leave any witnesses? So they kill all the other guards." | |

Doctor Who: In "The Unicorn and the Wasp", where the Doctor and Donna meet Agatha Christie, the murderer first kills Professor Peach, and then manages to off a couple more people before being caught. It turns out the villain has been accidentally brainwashed into acting like an over-the-top Christie villain, and Dame Agatha loved this trope, hence the multiple murders. | |

Ace Attorney: The fifth case of the first game gives us the Joe Darke killings. The titular serial killer accidentally ran over a woman with his car, then killed the two people who witnessed the accident, followed by then the kid who saw him burying the bodies, in order to keep the whole thing quiet. And in Trials and Tribulations we have another killing spree that spanned six years. First, Dahlia Hawthorne arranged the suicide of Terry Fawles, killed her own stepsister, then poisoned Diego Armando (he survived, barely) and electrocuted Doug Swallow to keep them quiet. If you include Terry this gives her the highest body count in the game. And that doesn't even count her failed murder attempts of Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey, the latter of which happened after she died. |

Midsomer Murders has been a frequent user of this trope up throughout its long run, though in the last couple of years, we've actually gotten through an episode here and there with "only" one stiff. | |

In Crooked House, the murder of Asshole Victim Aristide Leonides is followed later by the more baffling (and seemingly motiveless) murder of Nanny; although it does clear the two characters who had been arrested for the first murder. | |

In the Midnight Caller episode "The Added Starter", a prostitute vanishes. Since there's no evidence, the police don't believe the one witness who says she was murdered, until her madam is murdered too. | |

the white chamber: The killer aka the main character killed her first assistant by accident and hid the corpse, then killed the engineer when he found the body, then murdered everyone else one by one out of sheer psychotic paranoia. | |

A kid-friendly variation shows up in Spongebob Squarepants. After acquiring Mermaid Man's belt, Spongebob accidentally shrinks Squidward. He tells himself to calm down so no one will find out when Patrick shows up and is shrunk by a panicky Spongebob, who continues to zap passersby with the shrink ray. By the end of the episode, he's shrunk the entire population of Bikini Bottom- save the already small Plankton, who happened to be out of town and arrives just at the end to see what happened. | |
