Malcolm Harding was killed by Joe Goldberg in the TV series You season 4. Joe, while heavily intoxicated, stabbed Malcolm during a blackout and initially believed he was responsible for the murder. However, the mystery of the "Eat the Rich" killer, who was targeting affluent Londoners including Malcolm, unfolds throughout the season. Despite Joe's initial belief that he killed Malcolm, it is later revealed that Rhys Montrose, another character, is the actual "Eat the Rich" killer who committed several murders out of hatred towards the rich. Rhys had intended to frame Joe for Malcolm's murder but Joe had already disposed of Malcolm's body before Rhys could act on this plan
