Amazing to think that this is evidemce of a murder that took place 6,500 years before the birth of Christ.
Since they made such a fuss over his burial, he probably was a leader, and died in battle. Or, as you said, murdered. Could have been a hunting accident. But regardless, it’s pretty amazing how well-preserved the remains are.

Classification as murder is jumping to conclusions.
There could have been a war, it could have been self defense, it could have been accidental, it could have been an execution.
No evidence it was murder. Only that it could of been a homicide.
