Murder is objectively bad for the well being of humans, so we are able to say that it is immoral. Notice you asked about "murder" and not "killing", that's because killing could be moral or immoral depending on the situation.
It just depends. There are times when murdering someone can benefit someone else in some way. Which is why they murder in the first place.
Yes sometimes a person can benefit from doing a bad thing, the fact that it benefits the one person doesn't make it moral. We are talking about murder being bad for the well being of humans, I assume we can agree that murder is detrimental to the well being of the human race.
