I'm sure the father would be proud to take jail time for what he did. Sometimes you just "gotta do what ya gotta do". Consequences be damned.

I'm curious, then, what you feel your response would have been in the same situation.

I can answer that... I'd be a murderer too.

Certainly, under the simplest definition of the word, anyone who directly kills someone else is a murderer. The question at hand, in this case, was whether or not it was a justifiable murder.

Kaneman's brief declaration was open to interpretation. But if he feels the murder in this case was unjustified, I'd be interested to know what response he would consider justified.

That would be incorrect. You can be a killer, without being a murderer. The two terms are similar, but not synonymous. That is the case for both dictionary and legal definitions of the words.
