Clear to us, but to someone stricken with a mountain of grief (and from another culture we don't fully understand) he may have done it there so that other people with grief could have someone to blame, somewhere to focus their anger on, etc. Sort of like a "don't hurt them, take me instead" hostage type scenario.
Probably wrong, but maybe in his head something like that was going on by "taking responsibility". Or maybe it was a way of him feeling disgraceful and disgracing himself further by doing it in this way, because that's what he felt he deserved.
