If your character is an adult, particularly if he or she is given to wordplay, just try for subtlety. I have one character apologizing to another for allowing his suspicions to govern his actions, rather than his love. He hired an assassin but never admits it. You could have it alluded to as a solution to a problem. If your character has a mathematical turn, he subtracted something recently. If your character is younger, maybe you were ‘the only one not surprised when X cut class’. Perhaps refer to the deceased character as ‘auditing comparative religion ‘. There are so many ways to say that without being blunt. Have fun with it and see which scenario or euphemism suits the character best.
