Since older people had precious little life left at stake, I think penalty for their murder should be correspondingly reduced.

They can, and they are murdered every second.
Perhaps the largest mass murder to date.

A tree can be killed, but not "murdered", that only applies to a human being being killed by another human being unlawfully and not in any other context.
