Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor; Peter Pan refused to grow up.
Killing a mass murderer in self-defense is not murder. murder:
1.The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
I can't think of any situation where telling a lie can be viewed as moral. lie
1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.
2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.
Biblically speaking: MURDER
MURDER
(mur'-der) (haragh, "to smite," "destroy," "kill," "slay" (Ps 10:8; Hos 9:13 AV]), ratsach, "to dash to pieces," "kill," especially with premeditation (Num 35:16 and frequently; Job 24:14; Ps 94:6; Jer 7:9; Hos 6:9); phoneus, "criminal homicide," from phoneuo, "to kill," "slay"; phonos, from pheno, has the same meaning; anthropoktonos, "manslayer," "murderer," is used to designate Satan (John 8:44) and him that hates his brother (1 John 3:15); a matricide is designated as metraloas (1 Tim 1:9); compare adelphokionos, "fratricidal" (Wisd 10:3).

LIE
LIE; LYING
(li), (sheqer (usually, e.g. Isa 9:15; Zech 13:3), or kazabh verb (Job 34:6; Mic 2:11); pseudos (John 8:44; Rev 21:27], "to speak falsely," "to fabricate," "to make a false statement"; pseudomai, in Acts 5:3-4)):
1. Lying Defined: In its very essence, a lie is something said with intent to deceive. It is not always a spoken word that is a lie, for a life lived under false pretenses, a hypocritical life, may be a lie equally with a false word (Jer 23:14). A vain thing, like an idol, may be a lie (Isa 59:4), as also a false system (Rom 3:7). Error, as opposed to truth, is a lie (1 John 2:21). The denial of the deity of Jesus Christ is regarded as "the" lie (1 John 2:22).
The origin of lies and lying is traced to Satan who is called "a liar, and the father thereof" (John 8:44; Acts 5:3). Satan's dealing with Eve (Gen 3) furnishes us with a splendid illustration of the first lie, so far as we have any record of it.
