In Alaska, murder in the first degree, is when a person commits murder with intent to cause the death of another person or if "murderer" compels or induces any person to commit suicide through deception. The definition of first-degree murder on page 150 in Introduction to Criminal Justice is "unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought and with premeditation and deliberation."
