Where did the murder tag go? It appears to have been, well, murdered, silently, in the night, with no record of the deletion in the edits of any of the existing questions.

The tag has been removed from the site on account that, honestly... it's a pretty bad tag.
Yes, there's a lot of cultural significance to the site. But from a mechanical perspective, especially with a multitude of other problematic tags that we still have (strategy, retro-gaming) or tags that are just plain messy (spoiler, game-mechanics), it was a poor-quality tag.
Now, there are probably things that one might cite as being more deserving of destruction. But some cleanups are going on, and while it was present, well, it made sense to have it cleaned up.
It may be a damper on spirit, but I think it's better that we have it out of the way so that, among other things, people don't keep countering all discussions about removing bad tags with "What about murder?".
At least, keep it out of the way for now.
The tag has been brought back to life, for a videogame called "Murder". From the tag wiki:
Murder is a 1983 game by Rabbit Software for the ZX Spectrum.
