object sending itself as a parameter

[appleLove]

in my public class Person, I have this chunk of code

public void murder(Person victim, Person murderer)
{
victim.die();
victim.culprit= murderer;
}

it causes the victim (an other person) to die, and also for the now dead victim to know who the murderer was. each Person has a field culprit of type person.

my issue is that in the main method it always looks like

p1.murder(p2,p1);

note p1 is sending itself as a parameter. Is there anyways to get around this?

Using the magical 'this' keyword

public void murder(Person victim)
{
victim.die();
victim.culprit = this;
}

so p1.murder(p2) will now work!
