In English I would say
"murderer" is the subject,
"must" is a modal verb
"have" is an auxiliary verb
"liked" is verb in past tense
"donuts" is a direct object
How would I describe the words in Spanish?
The verb "deben" is plural which agrees with "las donas". Is "las donas" the subject of the sentence?
Would this sentence be an example of "reflexive passive"?

las donas - subject
asesino - indirect object
Literally, the donuts must has pleased the assassin. The verb is active.
