Then it also probably depends on the nature of the killing. That gets fuzzier but a lot of stuff suggests it's outright unpunished murder that's the biggest problem, not killing in self defense or defense of others or whatever.

And if you have outright murdered someone...good luck with that. You may want to give yourself up to police custody just on general principle and also because the "unpunished" part seems to be a bigger draw.

This is real wrath of God stuff. Like...literally.
