The key word there is "crime." Killing someone in justifiable self-defense isn't a "crime" or a "criminal act." The legal definition of murder is the unlawful killing of a person.
Thanks for injecting some reality. Murder is a crime; an unlawful killing of a human being by a human being. A homicide can be lawful and morally justified. There is no definition of murder other than the legal one; there isn't a separate 'moral' definition.
