What kind of inflection is occuring in passive vb + かかった?
I was using Jisho.org to help me figure out the tense of the following passive verb
殺されかかったんだ
when it decides to combine 殺され (passive form) with かかった thereby forming "殺されかかった" as a 'recognized' whole verb (recognized meaning its fully underlined in the link thingy).
I still don't know what the two かか's mean, although my bad gut intuition is saying that the first か is a question particle, thereby making it a passive question parsed by かったんだ....
I really am confused as to what it means and how to parse the segments correctly.
Original sentence: ……そうだ, 殺されかかったんだ
conjugations compound-verbs

I think you're overthinking it. What if you just saw かかった? How would you work from that?

「Verb in 連用形{れんようけい} (continuative form) + かかる」
means:
"to be about to (verb)", "to be on the point of (verb)ing", etc.
The first verb used in this expression can be either in the active or passive voice form. Active or passive, Japanese verbs still inflect in the same manner.
Active voice: 「殺し」 is the 連用形 of 「殺す」
「殺しかかった」= "was about to kill"
Passive voice: 「殺され」 is the 連用形 of 「殺される」
「殺されかかった」 = "was about to be killed"
The two か's cannot be separated as 「かかる」 is just one verb.
