Murder by Context: Part 2

Exploring what 'murder' means to an individual, as well as trying to differentiate between personal definitions of 'murder' and killing'. All answers are anonymous. By answering this survey I will assume you are happy for me to reference your answers appropriately (using Harvard).
How would you define murder?
Does your definition of 'murder' change depending on the context?
Do you believe 'murder' and 'killing' equate to the same thing?
Is there a moral difference between someone with the 'authority' to kill (ex. soldier/armed police officer) and someone without the 'authority' to kill (ex. serial killer)?
Can murder ever be justified?
