Accomplishing murder? Good (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doing

'accomplishing' is the definition.
(doing is a kind of accomplishing)

'murder? good' is the wordplay.
'murder?' becomes 'do in' ('do in' can mean to kill).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'doin'+'g'='DOING'

(Other definitions for doing that I've seen before include "deed?" , "Performing a task" , "Accomplishing" , "Working" , "Effecting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
