When is a murder not a murder? When we call the dismembering and dissolving of bodies a ‘targeted killing' | The Independent

Murder is murder is murder. Sawing up and dissolving a Saudi journalist and blasting to shreds an Iranian military commander has, of course, more or less the same result. Not quite, of course: Jamal Khashoggi's Saudi murderers didn't leave us a piece of bone, not even a finger nail to bury. Even Acid Bath Murderer John Haigh left enough fragments of his victims around to secure his execution.
