    You can enforce consequences for murder. You can investigate and differentiate a murder from an accidental death. Don’t be disingenuous.

      A death is a death.

      I can quote from memory a case in my country, in the 80’s, where a man assaulted a couple, killed the woman and was about to kill the man.

      The killer got tackled and beat to death by the widower. The sole survivor was sent to trial for murder regardless being under mortal peril.

      Got acquited on the appeal. First instance deemed it an excessive act, regardless self defence.
