That's because the materials to be digested are taken into the lysosome themselves and after digestion, what is left of it is extruded out of the cell, . So, it has killed itself along, thus committing suicide.
In contrast to the above, if it had poured the degrading enzymes into a vacuole, it would have been called the Murder organelle of the cell!

Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material and cellular debris. Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage its own cells by its own enzymes, which lead to cell death. This process is called as autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called as suicide bags
