Why did Moses flee from Egypt?

Exodus 2:15 (ESV)

15 When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.

The Pharaoh wanted to kill him. Obviously, Moses is treated badly by his fellow Israelites. Either on purpose or by rumours, the news reached the Pharaoh.
