Why shouldn't I murder somebody if I profit by it and get away with it?

If you allow killing for profit, everyone becomes a threat. You end up having to spend considerable resources on defense. As you can't trust anyone not to stab you in the back (literally), there's no cooperation, so you lose the efficiency of the division of labor.

Killing for profit simply isn't profitable.
