She was 17 at the same time happened.

He doesn't want to do it but she keeps telling him he has to do it now. This is either a murder and/or accessory to a murder or not a crime at all and a suicide happened.

It can't be both a suicide and a murder.

Sure it can. If you tell someone to commit murder and they do, you are guilty of murder as well. No reason it couldn't be true for suicide.
