One of the evil deeds with bad consequence from which there is no escape for the one who is involved in it is to kill someone unlawfully. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6863)
إِنَّ مِنْ وَرَطَاتِ الْأُمُورِ الَّتِي لَا مَخْرَجَ لِمَنْ أَوْقَعَ نَفْسَهُ فِيهَا سَفْكُ الدَّمِ الْحَرَامِ بِغَيْرِ حِلِّهِ
