    Actually you are not a murderer in this case as it was not your intention to kill.

    That doesn't matter when the result ended in a kill.

    At least that's how it works in our law system. For example, if a pedestrian suddenly jumps into the street where I'm driving, and I hit and kill him, then I'll be charged(and convicted of) with manslaughter.

    In my country, manslaughter is not the same as murder.
