    So if I kill someone then hide the body and refuse to admit I killed anyone, there was no murder?

      I think a better analogy would be if you kill someone and then deny murder while being caught standing over the dead body with a bloody knife and the victim’s blood all over you while you’re still stabbing the corpse.
