I agree. But it also in a way symbolizes the loneliness of some people, that although they want to commit suicide (an obviously solo act), they don't want to do it alone.
There are also suicide groups created via messaging on the internet, where a group of people will agree to meet and commit suicide together.
Is this a result of the increasing isolation due to instant messaging instead of face to face communication?

Maybe they became mentally ill due to the contamination of the land which they are living in.

If you don't know something for certain, then please take all possibilities in to consideration.

A spate of recent killings at primary schools in China can be blamed on deep-seated social tensions, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says.
The premier's comments, made Friday during an interview with Hong Kong's Phoenix Television, are the first official suggestion that the killings aren't simply the acts of deranged men.
Fifteen children have been killed and 80 others injured by men armed with cleavers, hammers or knives on five occasions since March.
BEIJING: A man hacked to death seven children and their teacher with a kitchen cleaver yesterday, in China's latest bloody schoolyard rampage.
It was the eighth brutal attack on children in 10 weeks, spreading panic among China's predominantly one-child families and further fuelling debate about the country's social ills and lack of release valves for social pressure.
BEIJING: Yet another deadly "social revenge" attack on Wednesday shook China when a person armed with a kitchen cleaver slaughtered seven children, their teacher and her 80-year-old mother at a kindergarten school before killing himself in a northwestern village of the country.
The deadly rampage took place at about 8 am (local time) at the privately-run kindergarten in Linchang Village in the Shaanxi province when 48-year-old villager Wu Huanming, who apparently owned the school building, barged inside started hacking children.

Now why is that? Could it be some sociological/psychological problem?
I'm just saying that this is interesting because massacres aren't about guns, it's about the people behind them, so people need to stop blaming and limiting civilian ownership of guns because it has nothing to do with random massacres.
