IDK, you tell me.  If the reason that something was wrong was because it robbed someone of their life...and murder robbed someone of their life...then in what way is the statement; 

"Murder is wrong" not accurately communicating a fact?

Because "wrong" in this sense is a value judgement. It isn't right/wrong in the sense of a measurement.
