Whom must be the object of a verb or a preposition, as in "Whom did they suspect of committing the crime," where whom is the object of the verb suspect.

In the sentence "Who, do they suspect, committed the crime," who is the subject of the verb committed. It all means the same thing, but it is structurally different.
