That depends on what the legal requirments of responsibility are.
What does responsibility mean?
If you mean should clones suffer punishment,
I say no, clones are not responsible;
if they did not exist at the time of the murder,
they did not pull the trigger;
they did not do it.
Sure they may have the capability of killing, so does nature.
Would you punish the earth for commiting genocide?
