Why does Claudius murder Hamlet's father?
It was an accident. He didn't know it was Polonius. He thought it was the King.

Enraged, she walked away, but Hamlet grabbed her by the wrist and said "Listen to me!". She was so frightened, she called for help. Then Polonius, who was hiding behing a curtain, called "Help!". Then Hamlet, mistaking it for the King's voice, took out his sword and stabbed the curtain, killing Polonius. Claudius...Apexxx
