Two people kicking someone with the clear intent to kill them is easier to convict of murder than three people kicking, stabbing and then pushing someone into a quarry, where the victim then drowns.
Which one drowned the victim? None of them. They caused the death through their actions but did not kill their victim directly, hence the manslaughter conviction rather than an attempt to charge them with murder.
