While it wasn't personally me who did this, I saw this. Imagine that quest where you can either help the paranoid Wood Elf, or not. I chose not to help him, so he went on a rampage. Following him, I saw a guard kill him, put his sword away, take his battleaxe, go back to his post, come back to the body, crouch down, and go "Hmm, still warm. There's a murderer about!"
I experienced something similar which made me laugh quite a lot... The flaws of Oblivion and Fallout 3 are almost the best parts.
In Oblivion, there's a quest where you get locked inside a house with about five other individuals. Your mission is to murder all of them without any witnesses. I don't see the point of the "no witnesses" part since they'll all be dead in the end and no one will be able to tell anyone, but whatever.
After killing all but two of them, the only remaining soon-to-be victims were a young man and and old woman. The man saw the dead bodies and ran up to me, told me that the old lady must be the murderer and proceeded to tell me that we should kill her to protect ourselves. I agreed with him when he suddenly grabbed a knife and chased the lady around the house for a while.
He killed the old lady and calmly walked away from the scene. As he approached me, I assumed that he was going to tell me that he was relieved that the murderer was dead. Instead, he looked at me and said something like "She is dead too now... We're the only ones left... And I know that I'm not a murderer!" and started running.
Seems like some Oblivion characters suffer from a serious case of schizophrenia.
