The judgement of guilt and consequential death was not enough. Scar yet had to face his brother and face the TRUE judgement- now even death was an escape denied.

I always felt sorry for Scar. There's an element of a madness ion him that suggests a tale yet to be told

I think, despite the bleak scene in the image, Mufasa understood his brother more then we really saw. He seemed quite tolerant (if not a little weary) of Scar's generally threatening and antisocial behaviour....

We can only speculate. It's a tale I seriously doubt Disney will have the balls to tell, because it suggests the villian's maddness was perhaps somewhat explainable.
