I left out three sentences. Thank you very much.

1) There are several reasons why the murder takes place off-stage. First of all representing a regicide on stage was regarded as an offence towards the figure of the king.
2) Second, the open structure of the Elizabethan stage made it difficult to handle corpses.
3) Finally, the murder off-stage enabled Shakespeare to throw light onto his characters’ reactions and at the same time to stimulate the audience’s imagination.
