Creon didn't kill Haemon. Creon decided too late to release Antigone. She was already dead, and Haemon tried to save her but Creon called him stupid. This was "the last straw" per say, so Haemon lashed out on Creon and Haemon fell on his sword killing himself.
Haemon tells his father Creon to not act with sovereign and to listen to other people's thoughts.
Creon is his dad and antigone is his cousin
No. Haemon says to Creon, "...And dying she'll destroy--someone else," and Creon, blinded by his ego, automatically takes this as a threat to himself, when in reality his son is telling him that he, Haemon, will not survive his future bride's death.
Theban King Creon was the brother of Queen Jocasta. He was the father of Haemon. Jocasta was the mother of Antigone. So Creon was Antigone's uncle, and Jocasta Haemon's aunt. That made the betrothed couple Antigone and Haemon first cousins.
Haemon and Creon are both characters in Antigone by Sophocles. Haemon visits his father, Creon, to tell him not to kill Antigone.

Change his mind in the first interaction and kill him in the second are what Haemon tries to do to Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon has two interactions with his father, King Creon. In the first, he makes an effort to get Creon to change his stubborn mind about non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead and about the death sentence for Princess Antigone, Haemon's betrothed and Creon's niece. In the second, Haemon tries to run his sword through Creon, whom he blames for Antigone's suicide.
Creon says to Haemon, Do you come as a loving son in support of your father or as a lovesick boy, angered at your father?
No, Haemon is not a loyal son to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon starts out trying to be loyal to his father, King Creon. But Creon plans to execute Princess Antigone, Haemon's first cousin and betrothed. Haemon passionately loves Antigone and finds the execution unacceptable. He therefore expresses disloyalty by opposing his father's non-burial edict, supporting Antigone's civil disobedience and even trying to kill Creon.
Haemon tells King Creon to forgive Antigone of her illegal acts. He is "engaged" to Antigone and believes that she is just trying to honor her brother.
