That Laius' death place is the same as the place where Oedipus leaves five people dead and that he therefore may be a suspect is Oedipus' first anagnorisis in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus heads an investigation into the long unsolved murder of King Laius. He looks for clues. He listens to the account of Queen Jocasta, his wife and Laius' widow. He realizes that Laius dies in the same place and about the same time as when and where Oedipus kills an older version of himself and four of his five companions.
