Some scenarios where murder might be legally justified include: an act of self-defense, killing in war or as part of a political revolution, killing in order to prevent a greater harm such as saving hostages, or being an eye-witness to a crime and providing testimony against the perpetrator. Additionally, some religions and cultures have practices involving ceremonial or ritual killings which may be accepted by society at large.
