By "relive," do you mean he has to experience the murder from his father's perspective?

>> must re-live his father's murder.

Loglines should focus on the dramatic problem to be solved NOW, in the present tense. ?The dramatic problem NOW is to apprehend and/or kill the murderer. "Re-living the murder" -- whatever that means -- is old business ?Maybe it's a complicating factor in the story proper but it is extraneous for the purpose of a logline.
