John Oakhurst, a character in Bret Harte's short story "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," is implied to have taken his own life. After being ostracized by the town and facing overwhelming despair in the harsh wilderness, he chooses to leave his companions and is later found dead with a deck of cards in his hand. The story suggests that his death was a result of his own choice rather than murder.

Is it okay to kill someone who has murdered?

no because then, even if they are a murderer, it is still technically illegal to kill someone. but just be sure that if you know of someone who has murdered, you had better tell the police because there is always the chance that they will find out and you will get in trouble for not telling anybody about it. So again, no it is not okay to kill someone who was murdered. Notify police and they will take care of it.
