Under the universal definition of evil, Hamlet commits murder. He kills Polonius, although his intent was to kill Claudius for revenge of the death of his father. He calculates how to have Rosencrantz and Guildenstern killed in his stead, by forging a letter requesting their executions to the King of England. He kills Laertes--again unintentionally, because he uses the poisoned foil that Laertes slashed him with. Finally, he kills Claudius by stabbing him and feeding the King poison.
