It's either perfectly consistent if you go minute by minute, or consistency goes out the window without any murder.
1978: Some matter and energy materializes. It appears to be a human being. Where did it come from? It's impossible to tell; it has no past as far as we're concerned.
1978: Oh my god, the mystery human has just killed another human. They look kind of alike, I guess.
1978: The mystery human is now in prison; its lack of citizenship or identity ("yeah, born in 1952 my ass, you're clearly at least 50 years old") does not prevent its incarceration.
2017: Nothing of note happens. Mystery human would be eligible for parole, if he hadn't died behind bars in 1996.
