What is conspiracy to murder?

A 23-year-old was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder. This charge means agreeing with another person to commit murder, even if the murder itself doesn't happen, or if the plan fails. It focuses on the agreement to commit the crime, not just the outcome.
