Family Suicides

Re: Three Family Members Believed to Have Jumped to Death

One of the more disturbing trends in Korean society is the "family suicide." I have a sneaking suspicion that these are in reality murder-suicides, but that police and surviving family members choose not to investigate in order to save face for the dead. I don't know if I hope I'm wrong or right. Both prospects are equally disturbing.
