* ''Literature/TheBookOfMormon'': Amalickiah's servants stab the king of the Lamanites dead in front of all the king's servants -- but they then scare the king's servants into running.

FramingTheGuiltyParty is a subtrope where the party framed is actually guilty. It can be a {{Subversion}} or even a DoubleSubversion of the classic Frame-Up depending on the convolutions of apparent and actual guilt. In a similar vein, in Noir-themed crime dramas the frame can be rehung many times: a white-knuckle version of pass-the-parcel. If the framed party is an animal, ThisBearWasFramed. If the framed party is dead, then it's a DeceasedFallGuyGambit. If the accuser turns out to be right by complete accident, it may overlap with AccidentalTruth and RightForTheWrongReasons.

* In ''Webcomic/TheHammer2022'', Tiny kills the Grandmaster of Philes' military by goading him into a fight behind closed doors. He then hides the body before using the Grandmaster's signature artifact sword, Grius, to murder Lord Philes in bed. This frames the Grandmaster (whose body is buried and hidden so no one will find it) for the deed, while the resulting criminal investigation gives Tiny an excuse to leave without arousing suspicion.

* "No Body, No Crime" by Music/TaylorSwift has a rare heroic example; after Este confronts her husband about his cheating and gets murdered for her trouble, the narrator kills Este's husband and disposes of his body, exploiting the fact that his mistress had just taken out a valuable life-insurance policy on him to frame the mistress for the husband's murder by making it seem like a case of InsuranceFraud while also simultaneously avenging Este's murder and getting rid of the husband who'd murdered her.

As for WHY someone was framed, a common reason to frame someone is to ruin the reputation of a rival, someone whom they think is a bad influence, or someone with good publicity who has not been very good to them. However outright murdering them (even if it's meant to [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident look like an accident]]) would make them a martyr in the eyes of the public and might make things worse for the culprit. But most of the time, it's to direct blame away from the real culprits, so someone else is framed out of convenience, usually a person who would also have a motive to commit this crime.
