Because 'murder' and 'killing' don't mean the same thing. Two hypotheticals: 1) You have a really amazing motorcycle that you stupidly refuse to sell to me. I shove you in a wood chipper and take the bike. This qualifies as 'murder', since there isn't a possible moral argument which makes a motorcycle worth as much (or more) than a human life. 2). You're my best friend, and you are diagnosed with a debilitating, excruciatingly - but non-fatal - disease, and you ask for my help in ending your life. To end your suffering, I break into a pharmacy and steal enough of the right kind of drugs to kill you. This then becomes a premeditated killing, but it is NOT a murder.

Ok, pontificating aside, I was once offered 3000 quid to kill someone. I considered it for a week before I declined, so I suppose Option 3 suits me best.
