In the old television show with George Reeves, Superman 'kidnapped' a man and woman because they were about to expose his secret identity.
He flew them into a cave high in the mountains until he could decide a permanent solution.
They had food and water, but no means of escape to climb down the mountain.
They attempted it anyway, falling down the mountain and getting killed.
If not murder, he sure seems guilty of costing those two their lives whatever it's called.

He is not guilty of murder, but is most assuredly guilty of false imprisonment. They chose to try to escape and plunge to their deaths. Superman did not cause the death. He merely held them against their will.
He could be charged with criminal neglegence, and find himself in big trouble, because his captives did die.

It would be guilty of an imprudently murder, what I mean is that even though Superman did not try to kill them, his actions lead to that awful result, and there should have been a punishment even if it is softer than a first degree murder.

Not murder, but definitely kidnapping and unlawful restraint.

He's probably guilty of criminal negligence causing death.
But who's gonna arrest him?
Not me!

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.
Then go for the wrongful death suit.
