About Murder in brief
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse. Most societies consider murder to be an extremely serious crime. A person convicted of murder generally faces a long-term prison sentence, a life sentence, and even a death penalty. In some countries, a fetus is a legal person who can be murdered, and killing a pregnant woman is considered a double homicide. The elements of common law murder are: Under state of mind, intent to kill, the deadly weapon rule applies. In Australian jurisdictions, the felony committed must be an inherently dangerous crime.

In Spanish criminal law, murder takes place when any of these requirements concur: Treachery, murder, or reward or viciousness or price or reward for viciousness.
