Good question. For a quick answer, let me conjecture that murder was one
of the most visible, unquestionable sins. It is hard to detect a thieve
who steals in the middle of the night, but murder is something public
and also punished by both God's and men's laws. Therefore, murder is
chosen because of the enormity and the visibility of the offense.
Blessings,
Eduardo
