I destroyed my friend.


Explanation:
Ich machte meinen Freund kaputt. I'm not sure what you're looking for since you posted your question under English to German. The simple past of habe gemacht is machte.

I (have) killed my friend


Explanation:
I guess you want the English translation?
"I have killed my friend" (present perfect) would imply that this has still consequences for you today, which is probably the case, whereas "I killed my friend" (simple past) means this is totally in the past and has no relation with the present time.

Hope it helps

I broke my friend


Explanation:
Handelt es sich hierbei um ein Spielzeug? Wie schon oben angemerkt muss es "meinen Freund" heissen. Bitte etwas mehr Kontext... .
