Thanks a million, Tim. English is indeed a rich language. :-)
Tim Drayton Mar 13, 2012:
More possible terms There are some more possible terms in the following quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_murder

"A proxy murder is a murder in which the murderer does so at the behest of another, acting as his or her proxy.
[…]
The person instigating a proxy murder may or may not be legally guilty of the crime of murder; this legal distinction varies by nation (and within the United States, by state). However, all jurisdictions recognize the criminal nature of the actions taken by the instigator, and they may be charged under any of a variety of statutes, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and/or accessory to murder."

The root of the problem, of course, is that common law jurisdictions have a different approach to such crimes. Only a lawyer can comment definitively, but it seems to me that in common law jurisdictions a person who hires a killer is guilty of murder itself and not of any related offence, which explains the absence of any one clear cognate term.

Soliciting to murder

Eskiden İngiliz yasasında incitement olarak tanımlanan eylem artık alt başlıklarına ayrılmış durumda. Cinayetle ilgili alt başlık "Soliciting to murder" olarak geçiyor.

commissioning murder

I agree that this would be 'incitement to murder' in most contexts; however, here we are talking about the use of a hired killer, which is hardly incitement. I think my proposal may fit the bill. Check the following examples:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ExVNXlI...

“[…]who has served half of a 26-year sentence for commissioning the murder of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci.”

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,760358,00.h...

“Kress says the normal way of handling a man who is sought globally for commissioning murder would be to arrest him […]”

'Procurement of murder' is another option. For example:

http://www.azag.gov/CCC/Final-CapPun.pdf

“The new statute provided for a separate sentencing hearing to be held before the trial court, rather than a jury, and enumerated six aggravating circumstances that could be considered in deciding whether to impose a death sentence: (1) prior conviction for which a sentence of life imprisonment or death was imposable; (2) prior serious offense involving the use or threat of violence; (3) grave risk of death to others; (4) procurement of murder by payment or promise of payment […]”

'Soliciting to kill/murder' also does it for me.
Note from asker:
Thanks a million, Tim. How about "soliciting to murder"? This one also involves the use of a hired killer. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/1020/1224306125476.html
It appears that there is more than just one "correct" answer to this question. Many thanks, Tim.
