Two female Common Awl Robberflies (Neoitamus cyanurus), I'd say.
One eating the other!
Marvellous and interesting shot!! 
Darren.

Many thanks Darren as I had no idea.
I thought at first glance they were mating but then realsed that one of them looked pretty lifeless which confirms your description.
