to kill him
To kill or slay, specifically to take life through violent action; often refers to intentional or active killing, whether in a judicial, military, or criminal context. The term emphasizes the act of killing itself rather than the mode or justification, and can range from lawful executions to acts of violence in warfare or individual murders. It can also be used metaphorically for utter destruction or, less commonly, the killing of animals.
