उत्तर
X has committed murder
Explanation:
X has committed murder. According to the principle, killing is not murder if it occurs in a heat of passion and is not pre-meditated. In this case, the killing is not under the heat of passion. There is a time difference of 2 hours between the quarrel and the killing. Moreover, it is pre-meditated because X procures a knife from somewhere and goes to the house of the victim with the clear intent of killing him.
