The one where the man kills her sisters then is going to kill her, but says I might as well steal your dress before I drown you, then she makes him turn his back and kills him instead. She would have been the victim had he succeeded. Sorry can't remember the name of it and not a chance of its number!!
There's an uncle-nephew issue in Chyld Owlett where the nephew is killed by order of the uncle.
These are the closest I can come up with, probably not what you need really but I'll keep my thinking hat on.
Love Fay xx
