I'm sorry, I don't agree with you that the killer is a non-being.
Whatever else he may be, he is still a human being. What he is, any of us might yet become unless we continue to choose to be otherwise.
Part of choosing to be otherwise is not pretending that he's something with no kinship to us, no rights, and nothing to tell us about what we must guard against in ourselves.
