You're a thief. You broke into someone's house. The owner of the house saw you; you have no choice but to kill the owner. But the owner hid inside the closet. How are you going to kill the owner?
@iamnikki burglary is of a premises. If a confrontation with a person is involved and they are assaulted or put in fear of violence in order to steal, it's robbery. If you kill them, it's murder. Don't ask me how I know. I'm not a psychopath - honest 😉
Hypothetically? Lol. It would depend on what I had access to and or what my preference was which I don't have one.... If you said how would you kill someone who *incert horrific incident here* to my self and or family then I might be able to be more specific 😊
