A thrill murder.

They did it just because they believed they could and get away with it.

They did it not so much that they believed they could actually get away with it, though they did feel they were much more intelligent than the police investigating the crime, for they genuinely believed themselves to be brilliant, educated elites, “entitled” to live as they chose and “entitled” to enjoy a full range of life experiences.

Others, like their victim, much less intelligent, brilliant and worthy than themselves didn’t deserve any such consideration.

Sound familiar to many of our “educated elite” today, without the murder part, of course.
