No you cant, since its a murder case, you will summon you to testify before court. But, your testimony would be of your chooice, what ever you saw you may trstify the same in your words. But cant escape.

You should help the prosecution in investigating the case. Don't fear about the process of legal procedure. Once you be the witness in any case then you have to appear before the Hon'ble court and just record your testimony.

You should go to court as a witness. Police and Court can compel you to give witness as to what you saw. There cannot be any excuse to it. Even you can be arrested if you repeatedly fails to appear before court even after repeated summons.
