How to commit murder inside a locked room

I'd expect that committing a murder in a locked room doesn't really require much in the way of planning or knowledge. Put me in a locked room with someone and I don't need much (except the will and likely a weapon) to do the deed.

However, Getting away with committing a murder in a locked room is the hard part -- how do you exit the room and re-lock it from the inside? How do you make sure to remove all traces of you from the room? And a dozen other things that need to happen in order to get away with such a murder.

The intended meaning is pretty obvious, and explicitly laid it in the second paragraph.

Is it? As a native English speaker, the only thing that was immediately obvious (to me) from the title was that commit != getting away with.

If I ever decide to read TFA (highly unlikely), I'm sure I'll notice that part. Thanks for giving me the heads up though.

Locked room murder is a detective genre trope in all kinds of shows, books, and movies. The goal is of course to get away with it.

Committing a murder is really only an issue if you push it.
