Individuals settled their problems between each other - the city-state did not intervene. A murder was hard to define - it would be an unfair killing as opposed to a usual contest. As civilisation developed, problems were usually settled between families by negotiating payments in order to prevent ongoing vendetta killing, and killings were looked at with suspicion. An example is the trial of Eratosthenes, with claims of a set-up murder on one side and righteous defence retaliation on the other.
