MurderSuicide. It can overlap with SuicideAttack if they're trying to kill mass amounts of people with an attack that also kills them.

Added DiffLines:
Someone [[YouAreWhatYouHate is part of a group they hate]]. They've got a bone to pick with people just like them, to the point of wanting to kill them all. But if they hate that group so much, why don't they [[DrivenToSuicide off themselves?]] Turns out that [[DeathSeeker they DO]], but don't want to die knowing the people they hate are still alive. So they keep themselves alive long enough to do, then finish with themselves.
Unsurprisingly this kind of character is NotAfraidToDie and may not even mind dying before by someone else's hand in an elaborate example of SuicideByCop. [[ICannotSelfTerminate They might literally be unable to terminate themselves]] until then. It might even be some form of atonement and/or revenge on their part; they take down a group they were once part of, then end themselves.
