Murder means they thought about it before doing it.
Those two contradict and do not make sense. A soldier defending her or his country thinks about killing before performing the action. A person hearing their house being robbed thinks about killing, or committing murder in your case, before they do it.

On the other hand, sometimes people on drugs such as PCP do not think about killing people before they do. They will freak out and act irrationally and on impulse and some will not remember what they did when they are done tripping. The same goes for some insanity cases, it can be an impulsive act.
