Korean couple runs a convenient store on the wrong side of the tracks. While closing up, a single masked man enters the store waving a saturday night special and demanding the cash be given to him.

"Ders-a no munny heah!" the Korean man yells and slowly reaches for the 12-gauge stashed underneath the #8 plastic bags.

The masked man sense danger and immediately takes first blood.

BANG!

One solitary bullet enters the Korean mans abdomen. The man doubles over and hits the ground hard. He is bleeding profusely, clutching the fresh wound. His wife cries over him as the fade to black begins.

It's a double murder-suicide! Like my first post, the story of the jealous husband, the scene begins with the jealous husband already having killed MNA and LDY (MNB and LDY are married and MNA was the best man at the wedding.) He realizes that he would rather die than go to prison. He turns the gun on himself and it's at that moment that he knows his life is over.

Just to summarise first, to avoid later confusion. MNA is going to die. None of the people are real, but they are human.

Is LDY married to MNA? NO
Is LDY married to MNB? YES
Is the scenario related to a known work of fiction / film etc? TO BROAD
Is anyone in the scenario an alien? NO
Is the scenario related to religion? YES (I had to think about this one quite hard)
In the scenario, is everyone alive? DEFINE ALIVE
In the scenario, is everyone human? YES (see above)
Will the person who kills MNA save another's life by that action? Maybe

No, except MAYBE for the wedding bit (but I lost the guest register).

So, LDY is Married to MNB:
Is there any connection of MNA to MDB or LDY (work collegue, employed by, friend, vicar at wedding etc) that is relevant?

Did the scenario really happen?

Was the scenario invented for the purposes of this puzzle only?

Does the scenario come up in another context to that of this puzzle?

Would knowing the way that this scenario is related to religion help us significantly in finding the answer?

If you imagine the setup of the scenario as if it was really happening now, are you imagining normal living human beings?

Will the killing of MNA benefit the person who kills him significantly?

Will the killing of MNA benefit anyone other than the person who kills him significantly?
