Get out! It DOES save the trouble of a trial and the cost of incarcerating him. But why do these cowards that kill their spouses (or girlfriends, children, parents, etc.) and then kill themselves afterward, not cut to the chase and off themselves FIRST?

If they're going to be such chickens as to kill themselves rather than face their punishment, then why not simply kill themselves, leave their would-be victims alone and don't ruin so many lives? Geez, this girl married him, apparently thought the marriage had been annulled (but there's no record of that) and was in all likelihood, trying to get on with her life after a disastrous brief marriage. Now she's been murdered in the most gruesome of fashions, so her future is over. And her family is left behind, devastated. All because of a man she only knew a few months and who probably seemed like Prince Charming in the beginning.
