We see Juliette carrying Diana as she walks away from the house with Freddie toward the helicopter, and the next thing we see she's at the house telling Nick she didn't know Kenneth was going to kill his mother and not making any attempt to stop Nick from choking the life out of her. He first act of violence comes only after Nick can't bring himself to kill her. My take on that was that either she was trying to force Nick to kill her in self defense or that she was just angry at him for not killing her.
It's certainly possible that she told Freddie she was going back to kill Nick. In fact, It's almost certain that she didn't say, "I'm so wracked with guilt over my betrayals that I want Nick to kill me." But her behavior in the house is a textbook depiction of someone trying to commit suicide by cop.
This is the text of the final scene from S4, E22:
Juliette: I didn't know Kenneth was gonna do that.
Nick: She trusted you.
Juliette: I know. I thought they just wanted Diana.
Nick: You betrayed her! [He grabs her and pins her against a wall to choke her]
Juliette: [Gasping] Do it, Nick. Kill me. Just do it. Do it. [She gasps more. Nick lets go of her and she catches her breath] You can't put me out of your misery, huh? I hope you're not going to tell me you're still in love with me.
Nick: Get out.
Juliette: After everything I've done for you, you think that's how we're gonna end it? You should have killed me when you had the chance. [She woges and pushes Nick across the room into a wall. Then, she throws him part way through a window, drags him back, and smacks him across his face. She retracts and looks at Nick on the ground]
Nick: I'm done fighting, Juliette.
Juliette: Maybe I still love you. Maybe that's something that just never goes away.
Nick: I'm done.
Juliette: I know. I wish I was. Goodbye, Nick. [She woges and raises her arm]
Trubel: [From behind] Goodbye, Juliette.
[Juliette turns around, and Trubel shoots her twice with the Doppelarmbrust. Juliette retracts and turns back towards Nick]
Nick: No. [He catches Juliette as she falls to the ground] No. No, Juliette.
Juliette: [Gasping, moaning] Nick.
Nick: Juliette, no.
[Blood starts coming out of the side of Juliette's mouth, and she dies]
Nick: [Crying] No, no. [He looks up at Trubel, and she looks at the ground, sad]
That does not look like someone was looking to commit suicide. She did give him a chance to see how far he would go but she is sure of her self he wont, and he didn't. She is resolute to finish what Verat and Ken could not accomplish. If she wanted to commit suicide did not stop her from trying to kill Nick. If Trubel did not show up, Nick would be dead not Juliette.

No body, no mess around the house, the neighborhood full of real bodies--what's a cop to do? I am not sure how he would have reported it, if he had told family and friends she was dead where was the body and the weapon, a female "friend" who had lived in the home killed her, and some mysterious sort of government agency no one had ever heard of had stolen the body, he would probably be suspect #1 in the mass murder.
Why'd he tell the scoobies then? Why'd Hank tell Renard?
It's questions like this, makes one wonder, WTF were they watching?
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
