No. You have to prove intent to kill.
The Crown Prosecution Service disagrees with you
with intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm (in contrast to the offence of attempted murder, where only intent to kill will suffice)

No. You have to prove intent to kill.
Intent to injure is not murder.
Also the intent to kill must be formed with a clear mind, not in the heat of a confrontation.
Intent to kill is extremely hard to prove, so prosecutors rarely use it unless they have definitive evidence that will convince a judge or jury.
