Or rather, crime where I don't become the victim of the guards when it's reported

. I'm trying to kill a woman who has a certain artifact that I need. She won't talk to me so I can't taunt her into attacking me. Now, she's in a room in an inn by herself, so I shut the door. I then attacked her, but my crime was reported. I reloaded and tried casting silence on her so she couldn't speak (so I assumed), which was successful in that she didn't resist the spell, but not successful in that my crime was still reported. How can I kill her without having my crime reported? (It's not that I can't pay the bounty, just having to drop all my stuff on the off chance it's stolen is so tedious

)
Also, how is the crime being reported when we're in a closed room by ourselves on the second floor of an inn with no one else even on that floor?
