For killing v. having killed

Jacqueline V.C1Kwiziq community member

If the sentence is "Elle finira en prison pour avoir tué son amant." ....why does the English translation say "She will end up in prison for killing her lover" and not 'She will end up in prison for having killed her lover"....?

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing cause with "Pour (+avoir) fait" = For doing/having done in French"
