I would feel much better about this if there were at least something to enable the police to differentiate between someone who was actually a criminal breaking into someone's house and someone who was murdered under the guise of being a criminal.

It seems to me that if you want to kill someone under this bill, then all you'd need to do is somehow get them into your house and then kill them, claiming that you felt the person was a threat to your bodily well-being.  Many "break and enters" do not actually have anything broken at all.
