Murder

Murder  (Violence)
Interest of	Malcom Wallace

Murder, as used on this website, refers to the deliberate taking of human life. It includes the initiation of projects such as the Guatemala syphilis experiment, in which this may have been a byproduct rather than the primary result of the actions taken. For deaths which were intended, the word "assassination" applies. People whose death seems unnaturally early (or otherwise unlikely due to natural causes) are referred to as cases of "premature death".
