Notwithstanding the fraud act, you also have the Criminal Attempts Act
But these are already covered by Fraud.
Going back to your Murder example, depending on the circumstances you have:
1. Murder (someone else killed him but you were part of the attack group - joint enterprise)
2. Attempted Murder (didn't know he was dead, but attempted to kill him)
3. knew he was dead - I think Corpse desecration is an offence, but I can't find anything to back that up.
A person may be guilty of attempting to commit an offence to which this section applies even though the facts are such that the commission of the offence is impossible.
