Well, maybe it's just metaphoric? It's a known issue that stepchildren seldom like their stepfathers, cause they're "breaking up the family".
So, the stepfather might be totally unaware of what the stepchild thinks about him, and she can't stand him and what he does cause he's a stepfather, and it drives her mad so she kills him, and yes, kills herself. Probably cause of guilt? But this might just be in her head. (Yes, i am an unhappy stepchild.)
