Familiacide and Kin theory.

Hi, I'm an undergrad Philosophy student but have always had an interest in Biology. I take a deterministic stance and have wondered for years the general explanation behind every action / thought - why I choose X rather than Y. Kin theory appeared sufficient and fitting. Yet familiciade-suicide cases appear to undermine this. Can they be explained by kin theory? Apologies for my lack of specifity.

When I say kin theory I mean the preservation and reproduction of familial genetics - my understanding may not be exact.
