* ''Series/FatherBrown'': Happens in "The Hangman's Demise". The VictimOfTheWeek commits suicide in a manner designed to look like murder and leaves evidence framing one of his friends. Overlaps with FramingTheGuiltyParty, because the reason he did it was that he had learned his friend had committed a murder years ago and gotten away with it. By making him out to have committed this murder, he was attempting to ensure the friend would still go to the gallows.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/RageInHeaven'': Phillip, who is violently insane and has come to believe in a non-existent affair between his wife Stella and his best friend Ward, does this. He carefully arranges his death, getting Ward to put his prints on the hilt of the knife by disguising it, staging a loud argument for people to hear, soaking the grounds so Ward will leave footprints as he leaves, wrecking the room to fake a fight, and then killing himself by Inertial Impalement onto a knife wedged into the door jamb. It works as Ward is convicted of murder (but Stella saves him in the end).
