No, this would be murder, even if the person was trespassing.

The only time it is legally justifiable to kill someone else is in self defence or for the defence of those around you.For example, if the trespasser was a madman with a gun or a knife which he was using to threaten your family, then yes, killing him is perfectly justified because it is self defence.

However if the person was just trespassing and is posing no danger to anybody, there is no justification to kill.
There is a very fine line between self defence and murder. As a rule of thumb, if the person is unarmed and is not a risk to your life or the lives of others, then it is murder.
