““Murder is the killing of a human being, “(1) When the offender has a specific intent to kill or to inflict great bodily harm; or “(2) When the offender is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of aggravated arson, aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated rape, armed robbery, or simple robbery, even though he has no intent to kill. “Whoever commits the crime of murder shall be punished by death.””
