    Well, it’s an expression that only comes up in the third person, not the first person. You’d see “Tim shot dead Eric”. I think if they’d say anything like that in the UK, it would just be “I shot him”.

        Yeah it’s the wrong way round but I think most people can also infer some context from the part where it mentions the murder charge.
