I'd expect that committing a murder in a locked room doesn't really require much in the way of planning or knowledge. Put me in a locked room with someone and I don't need much (except the will and likely a weapon) to do the deed.
However, Getting away with committing a murder in a locked room is the hard part -- how do you exit the room and re-lock it from the inside? How do you make sure to remove all traces of you from the room? And a dozen other things that need to happen in order to get away with such a murder.

As a native English speaker, the only thing that was immediately obvious (to me) from the title was that commit != getting away with. If I ever decide to read TFA (highly unlikely), I'm sure I'll notice that part. Thanks for giving me the heads up though.
