Crossword Genius

Event in which the murders end badly (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hundred metres

'event' is the definition.
(athletics event)

'the murders end badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'murders'+'end'='themurdersend'
'themurdersend' anagrammed gives 'HUNDRED METRES'.

'in which' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
