To a deontologist, murder is bad. To a consequentialist, it depends.

I'm not sure they'd actually call it murder in that case. They might accept some probability of murdering someone to preserve a strong negotiating position and mitigate inaction related failures, but most of the time the actual intent would probably be a non-murder killing.
