Hmm, well, if he's talking about the literal suicide (the button), it should be possible to monitor without a magical device

However like you say the other types of suicide (drowning, jumping off a cliff, getting killed by a friend) are more or less impossible to do something about MC-wise, assault list or not. We have talked about various monitoring systems, however there are tons of possible issues with introducing them - meaning they would probably lead to even more possibilities to "exploit" the system then there is now. In the end, you will probably always have to take the risk that the (neutral) person you hit runs off and gets himself killed just to give you a Murder Count.

Bottom line is: If you hit someone innocent (neutral), always be prepared to take a MC for it in the end. This is because you can never know what will happen afterwards; for instance if someone decides to "help" you and actually kills the person within 2 minutes of your last attack, you will still be on the victims assault list when s/he dies, and thus you may get a MC.

Is it the sparkling, canned dialog supplied by the NPC when you click on the little talk icon that makes it so interesting?
